Constantino's Lakewood Cuts Ribbon, Prepares For Grand Opening

LAKEWOOD, OH — While Constantino's new Lakewood location does not open to the public officially until Thursday, they took care of ribbon-cutting formalities early Wednesday evening.

City leaders such as Ian Andrews of LakewoodAlive, Patty Ryan of the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce and Mayor Michael Summers were on hand to cut the ribbon and welcome Constantino's to Lakewood.

Co-owner Andrew Revy and his wife, Anna have strong Lakewood roots as residents and graduates of Lakewood High School.

"It's great to come back and open a meaningful business. We wanted to be the perfect embodiment of a local grocer," Revy said.

Constantino's is taking over the space once occupied by Nature's Bin which closed a little over a year ago. Constantino's has said that they plan to offer several of that store's vegan and vegetarian options. The store will also support Cornucopia programs that aid disabled individuals.
