Venture Quality Goods Will Represent Lafayette at the Annual Small Business Awards
When guys go shop-ping for themselves, what are they think-ing? These are the things that keep retail-ers up at night. Leave it to Tom & Rosylyn Stenzel to open up a store that men actu-ally enjoy going to. Venture is a unique store that offers up
quality designed and crafted men’s (and woman’s) clothing that are pro-duced here in California. Tom’s years of experience in the apparel industry including a long gig with Levi Strauss helped them understand who their target audience would be. Guys want to be comfortable in a store and in the clothing they wear. The Stenzels have been so creative in their mar-keting and branding and they have embraced many non-traditional ways to appeal to the community. The store is really kid friendly too. Tom and Rosylyn took a leap of faith and opened their store as we were emerging from the recession. Their success is easy to understand when you meet this Lafayette couple and appreciate high quality of their inventory and their store. Congratulations to Venture!
A luncheon will be held in their honor along with the recipients of this award from other cities in Contra Costa and Alameda Counties on May 6th. The event is presented by the East Bay Leadership Council. For de-tails, visit https://eastbayleadershipcouncil.memberzone.com/eventregis-tration/register/1503

Taste of Lafayette – May 17th
Is it possible that Lafayette has too many restaurants? Have we finally reached a “tipping point?” According to the success of most of our new and existing res-
taurants, the answer is still NO WAY. We welcome Reve Bistro, Bistro Burger and Grill and opening soon Sideboard Neighborhood Kitch-en (in the old Handlebar Toy location on Plaza Way).
Join us on that one spring evening when the sidewalks are filled with diners strolling from restaurant to restaurant tasting the faire from many of our great restaurants that line Restaurant Row. Register online before we sell out, bit.ly/taste 16. A note to retailers between Moraga Blvd. and Mountain View Ave. Consider staying open late on May 20th. It is not of-ten we have 500 people waking by your store at between 5:30 – 8:30pm.
