With the April 5 grand opening celebration of a new store in Totem Lake, Joe's (formerly G.I. Joe's), took the opportunity to show support for its new neighbors. Amid streamers and celebration, Joe's president and CEO, Norm Daniels, presented the Kirkland Boys & Girls Club with a $10,000 check from the Joe's Foundation.
Daniels also announced that both the Kirkland and Bellevue Clubs would receive 10 percent of the sales from all purchases during opening day.
The donation will help fund the Kirkland Boys & Girls Club's after-school Power Hour Program. The program serves more than 120 children each day. The kids, ages 6-13, receive daily homework assistance and tutoring.
More than 350 patrons were waiting for the doors to open and share in the Joe's grand opening gift card giveaway. Each of the first 500 patrons was given a sealed envelope with either a $5, $10, $50, $100 or $500 Joe's gift card.
Kirkland Boys & Girls Club members and Joe's employees were all on location to cut the ribbon.
