New Umatilla Retailer Officially Open

    With a slice of a ribbon, Umatilla Mayor Chris Creech on Sunday formally welcomed the Maxy’s retail store to Umatilla’s Save-A-Lot plaza.  Owners Joe and Rudy Albazian, along with a staff of six employees, welcomed the community for a day of celebration, as Umatilla’s largest retailer officially opened for business.
    “We’re excited to welcome Maxy’s to our community,” said Umatilla Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Charelle Burgess at the ribbon cutting.  “Your presence adds something spectacular to Umatilla.”
    The store gave out free pizza and beverages to customers, and children enjoyed free bounce houses during the event.
    A ribbon-cutting ceremony preceded the store's official opening at noon, with Creech, flanked by Joe and Rudy Albazian, having the honor of cutting the ribbon.  After that, a gathered crowd of dozens piled into the store to check things out.
    “Thank you for investing in our area and bringing new opportunities,” Burgess said.  “We look forward to watching your business thrive!”
    Maxy’s has regular hours of 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. on Sunday.
