- opening a new brand, location, or franchise
- a business anniversary
- a millionth customer designation (or some other number)
- moving into a new building
- reopening a business under new management
- reopening after a devastating event (like a fire)
- or any reason the business feels they need to present themselves to the community.
Chamber Members have the opportunity to get there business information or other promotional material in the hands of the public by submitting items for our Welcome Bags. These bags are distributed to new Businesses, and new Webster City Residents. Please feel free to drop items off to us, or we can come pick them up from you.
Enjoy Webster City's small town charm!
