Instant Imprints Smyrna Celebrates a Successful Grand Re-Opening
A Warm Welcome from the Scott Family
From the moment guests arrived, the evening was filled with thoughtful touches and warm hospitality. The Scott family helped create a welcoming experience from start to finish.
They greeted attendees at the registration table, prepared goody bags, and made sure guests felt appreciated. In addition, great food, refreshments, and lively conversation made the celebration feel both festive and personal.
Local Food and Hospitality
A special thank you goes to the outstanding local businesses that contributed to the event’s food and hospitality. These included Veronica and Peter at Good Kitchen and Market, Toni at Graze Craze Charcuterie Boards & Boxes, Reagan at Meats to Sweets, and Donna at Chicago Pizza.
Their generous offerings added something special to the evening. As a result, guests enjoyed a memorable experience while celebrating a local business milestone.
Door Prizes from the Smyrna Community
The celebration also featured an impressive number of door prizes donated by local businesses and community organizations.
Support came from across the area, including the Smyrna Arts Council, GameDay Men’s Health, Prime IV Hydration & Wellness, Frenchies Nail Salon, Good Kitchen and Market, Graze Craze, EPG Farms, StillFire Brewing, Unique Cutz, Trua Senior Living Locators, and Instant Imprints head office in San Diego.
Together, these contributions showed how strongly the Smyrna business community rallied around this grand re-opening.
Community Leaders Joined the Ribbon Cutting
The ribbon-cutting ceremony included remarks from respected local leaders and special guests.
Speakers included Andrea Worthy, Economic Development Director for the City of Smyrna, Dana Johnson of the Cobb Chamber, Derek Chard of the Smyrna Business Association, and Ralph Askar, President and CEO of Instant Imprints.
Their words highlighted the importance of local entrepreneurship, partnership, and community connection. In addition, their presence helped make the ribbon cutting a meaningful moment for the Scott family and the Smyrna business community.
Instant Imprints Franchise Support
The event also reflected strong support from the wider Instant Imprints network. Jason Otte traveled from Instant Imprints Charlotte, and Ted Park joined from Instant Imprints Cumming.
Former Instant Imprints Lawrenceville owners Joey and Deb Herd also attended. Their presence was especially meaningful because they transferred their store earlier this year after many years in the system.
Recognizing 20 Years in the Instant Imprints Network
One memorable moment came when Ralph Askar presented a special award recognizing Joey and Deb’s 20 years in the Instant Imprints network.
That recognition added another meaningful moment to an already special evening.
A Memorable Night for Instant Imprints Smyrna
After the ribbon cutting, the celebration continued for hours. Guests stayed to connect, celebrate, and enjoy the evening together.
Overall, the event was a powerful reminder of what can happen when a local business is supported by an engaged community.
What a night, what an event, and what a community.
Please join us in congratulating Heather and Burke Scott and their family on an outstanding grand re-opening of Instant Imprints Smyrna.
