 Good morning. My name is Greg Williams, and I work with the City of Columbia's Economic Development Department, and I am here to welcome all of you to another opening in Columbia and specifically Five Points. As it is July in Columbia, I'm going to be real brief and simply introduce our speakers. First, we're going to have our Mayor, the Honorable Daniel J. Rickerman, followed by the Five Points Association Director, Heather MacDonald, and last but certainly not least, our business owner, Ms. Ashley Lindler. So thank you, and without further ado, Mayor Rickerman. Good morning, everybody. Once again, a big crowd down here. It's exciting. We've had multiple ribbon cuttings this week, and I know that Ashley had her little store down the street, and now she has her own space, which is very exciting, and you haven't been inside. It don't make you smile. There are a lot of funny things in there, a lot of cool gifts to put some joy in everybody's, but excited to have another woman-owned business open up this week. We just did a ribbon cutting yesterday for another woman-owned business here in Columbia, which is a pattern that's growing, and I'm so excited about it. But glad that everybody's here. Yeah, I think that deserves a hand. Yes, it does. You know, we laugh all the time. We're at Palmetta State. Everybody always says we're last in everything, but we're actually in the top five for women-owned businesses per capita. I think that says a lot. So let's give ourselves another round of applause there. We're very excited to have this addition continuing to fill these empty spaces down here with local businesses and a mix of exciting new things going on to keep people coming down here and being part of our community. This is our most iconic neighborhood, so it's always great to see something new happening here. Without that, I'm gonna move it to Heather. Heather is our Five Points Merchants Executive Director. I'm gonna let her take the show. Thank you. Greetings to all of you on this very happy Friday here in Five Points. On behalf of the Five Points Association, I would like to thank you all for being here with us on this very special day. Ashley, I want to say congratulations to you. I admire your story, the person you are and the positive energy you bring to the village. You have a wonderful staff here with you who supports you, and I personally am very thankful for the time and effort that you give towards the Five Points Association Board of Directors serving as our secretary. And without further ado with that, I just want to wish you many, many more years of great business and let this be the forever little happy corner in Five Points. Hey guys, I am Ashley, obviously, and thank you all for being here. Every one of you that are here right now, I'm just, y'all are important to me, and it's just such a special time. And many of y'all have been with me since I was at a little corner over on Carlow, and y'all moved to meet with me to a temporary location here on Saluda. And we're finally here. Two and a half years later, we finally made it. And I just want to say a special thank you to the City of Columbia. I was a part of their, like, rehabilitation project loan program. And so that helped us get to where we are here. And I just love how Columbia pours into the small businesses to help us thrive. And to Five Points, it's just a family here, all of the business owners that y'all are not only my friends, but my family. And I'm so thankful for y'all holding my hand through all of this and helping me through it. And I couldn't imagine being anywhere else in Columbia, South Carolina, than right here. But thank you guys so much. I couldn't have done it without so many of you that are here. And thank you's not enough. So thanks.
