​Hafner Florist is celebrating 25 years of business in the Toledo Region. Opened by Dan and Beth Hafner in 1992, the local flower shop boasts a team of top tier talent. The company has been a member of the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce all 25 years of their existence.
​
Entrepreneurship duo Beth and Dan originally met working at Ken’s flowers and in 1992 decided that they were ready to start their own shop. With the help from family and friends, their vision became reality and they opened their first location on Harroun Road.  Over the years the flower shop has also had a presence on Airport Highway and recently consolidated into one shop on Main Street in Sylvania.

​By: Jennifer Larrow, Corporate Sales Manager at Dave and Buster's Toledo
​Established in October of 2016, the Toledo Dave & Buster's store has been a hit in the city. At 34,000 square feet, the Toledo store is a state-of-the-art mid to large D&B marvel. It has sweeping sightlines, and large graphic murals of city historical and natural sites including the Schoonmaker ship which shipped massive quantities of ore between Great Lake destinations in both WWI and WWII and the Veteran’s Glass City Skyway Bridge on I-280. Much of the glassware we use here at D&B heralds from this city today, an example of which is our 22 oz beer glasses. Our Sports Lounge dining area features the names of local sports teams on the walls such as Mud Hens, Walleye, Browns and Lions!

​What happens when more than 20 local firms come together on a project over the course of three years? “Pride,” says Robin Whitney, senior vice president of real estate and construction at ProMedica. “It leads to a great thing.” Whitney started with ProMedica in May of 2014 with her first primary project being the revitalization of the historic Water Street Station. Water Street Station was originally built in 1896 to support the electricity needs due to the invention of Thomas Edison’s light bulb and it is now continuing to fulfill the mission of supporting innovation and creativity through housing ProMedica’s headquarters. “We have deep respect for the rich legacy of the Steam Plant and its vital location along the Maumee River at the mouth of Swan Creek. We’re glad to preserve this piece of history and share it with the community,” says Randy Oostra, president and CEO of ProMedica.
