Dos Amigos 10-Year Anniversary

Ribbon Cutting

Wednesday June 11th | 403 College Ave Suite A



10 years for Dos Amigos highlights one very important element of being in the hospitality industry and entrepreneurship. Grit. We did not reach this milestone via any other means other than continuing to get up when we got knocked down. Through it all we stayed committed to one mantra. Is our team and our business better off than they were last year? If we could without hesitation answer yes, we doubled down.

Come be part of the celebration on June 11th, starting at 4 PM. Enjoy delicious food, refreshing drinks, and great company as we mark this exciting milestone.
