What a turnout! We had what may have been our biggest Chamber Community Connections sponsored by Valley Bank yet! It was incredible to see so many members of our business community in one room connecting, catching up and building new relationships.

Thank you to Traditions on Tyrone for welcoming us into their beautiful new event space!

Formerly Harold Seltzer’s Steakhouse, Traditions on Tyrone has been transformed into a modern event venue for social and corporate gatherings, and yes, one of those famous cows 🐄 is still outside!

Who says Game Night starts at the stadium?

In St. Pete, it starts way earlier: coffee stops, afternoon markets, rooftop drinks, and eventually, first pitch. Swipe through a few of our favorite pairings. 🍹

Congratulations to these three businesses!

We recently celebrated three ribbon cuttings for Cali St. Pete, E&E Gliddon, and PGA Superstore.

CALI - South Tampa, Tampa Palms, St. Pete, Brandon has been a St. Pete staple for more than 20 years, and we're excited to see its continued growth with the transition from Ciccio Cali to Cali St. Pete.

E&E Gliddon Homes Services has served the Tampa Bay area with trusted heating, cooling, and home service solutions for 43 years, and it was a pleasure celebrating one year under new ownership.

PGA TOUR Superstore, the world's leading golf retailer for equipment, apparel, and accessories, has officially arrived in St. Pete. We were thrilled to celebrate this milestone and welcome PGA Superstore to our business community.
