ESCANABA, Mich. (WLUC) - Hundreds of people lined up outside of Marshalls in Escanaba on Thursday morning for the store's grand opening.
The ceremony was complete with cheerleaders, music, and refreshments. City officials, as well as State Senator Ed McBroom (R-Vulcan), were also in attendance.
After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, the store manager presented a $10,000 check to local domestic violence shelter, Tri-County Safe Harbor. The store was then presented with their "first dollar" from the Delta County Chamber of Commerce.
Alyssa Guindon, the first customer in line on Thursday, then got to cut the ribbon to welcome in customers. She said she's very excited for the new store, since she believes it will help bring more people to Escanaba.
"Being the only Marshalls in the U.P, I think it will mean that a lot of people will travel to come to this Marshalls. It'll bring people to the area and it will just be good for normal residents to be able to come and get some things that they couldn't get before. So I think it's really for the community," Guindon said.
