Grand opening festivities, including a ribbon cutting with Wauwatosa Mayor David McBride, will kick off at noon and the shop will remain open until 8 p.m.
Behind Delicious Bites is Tomira White, designer, chef and co-founder of the Bronzeville Collective, who operates the food-based business with her husband Corey and son Drew.
“We’re so grateful to finally be able to open our doors,” says White, who notes that it was family, friends and supporters who pitched in to ensure that their dream to open their own shop came to fruition.
