Thankfully, our time without safe drinking water was short, but it did impact restaurants and retailers, including us. I think the worst part was the uncertainty and that led to a very quiet week. This REDO event is meant to help make up for lost revenue and extra expenses. And there are PRIZES. Stop in and see us and check out our new sitting areas and new look.
When a water main break forced Orion Township into a State of Emergency on Mother's Day, the impact extended far beyond our water system. Many local businesses lost out on one of the busiest shopping and dining days of the year as celebrations were canceled, postponed, or moved elsewhere.
On Mother's Day and in the days that followed, many restaurants, stores, and other businesses temporarily closed or reduced services, sacrificing revenue to help preserve and restore our water supply for the good of the community.
Now it's our turn to show up for them.
Orion, it's time for a REDO:
Retail.
Experience.
Dine.
Orion.
Orion Township, Downtown Lake Orion, Orion Area Chamber of Commerce, and The Illuminators are declaring June 14 a Mother's Day Do-Over and encouraging residents to shop, dine, and explore local that day and throughout the week that follows. Together, we can help restore some of the sales, visits, and opportunities local businesses missed when one of their brightest days of the year was unexpectedly dimmed.
Whether it's rebooking a brunch, buying a gift, scheduling an experience, or simply choosing to spend local, every visit makes a difference.
The water emergency may be behind us, but our Orion spirit continues to illuminate what makes this community special; we love, support, and show up for the people and places that make Orion home.💚 ✨
P.S. Show us your REDO! Share a photo of yourself, your friends, or your family supporting local businesses using for a chance to win gift cards and other prizes.
