Delicious Bites, a local business which has made a name for itself selling wraps, salads, entrees and desserts for pre-order and delivery, will welcome their first customers on Wednesday, Feb. 22 at their new brick and mortar location at 6538 W. North Ave.
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.
