Ziggi's, Western Vista to hold grand opening celebration

"Now Open" sign for Ziggi's Coffee sits near the Thomes Avenue Entry on opening day - Optopolis

Ziggi's Coffee opened their second Cheyenne location, and Western Vista opened their third Cheyenne location! Now they are going to have an official Grand Opening!

History and Recent events...

According to the property assessor, the City Center Building (located across the street from the Civic Center) was built in 1982. Based on Google Maps Street View from previous years, the building had been for lease for a good part of the 2010s. Recently, Western Vista Credit Union began renovating the first floor for their new branch.

As mentioned in a recent article, Ziggi's Coffee was going to have (and had!) their first day open on Tuesday, Feb 21st. It turns out that Western Vista softly opened their new Thomes Avenue branch (whose branch is located in the lobby with Ziggi's Coffee in the City Center Building) late last week as confirmed by both staff and a post on Western Vista's Linkedin.

There are also numerous other occupants that have setup shop in the upper levels of this building! All of the tenants appear to be listed in the digitized directories inside the building.

Upon visiting Ziggi's Coffee on their first day, it was discovered here at Optopolis that both Ziggi's and Western Vista are set to hold their Grand Opening on Friday, Feb 24th. It will start at 10 AM.
