Miracle Mile Coffee Bean Ribbon Cutting

One of the reasons I love being a member of the LA Chamber of Commerce is the great people I get to meet.

I recently ran into one of them as I happened upon a ribbon cutting ceremony at the former site of Pioneer Chicken at San Vincente and Fairfax. Although I miss Pioneer Chicken, I’m certainly happy to see this next business to take it’s place… ahhh… Coffee Bean.

The ribbon cutting was conducted by Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce Senior Vice President & head of Sales and Business Development, Lee Ligons. Lee spoke graciously in support of the Miracle Mile area.

We got a picture together as fellow LA Chamber Members:
