Along with helping people open or expand their businesses in San José, the City of San José’s Office of Economic Development and Cultural Affairs (OEDCA) also supports local business owners with coordinating their grand openings.

We love to celebrate the openings of new businesses in San José! It’s an opportunity to see in person the entrepreneurial spirit that Silicon Valley is known for and for many business owners, to witness their dream come true. It’s also fun to see those huge scissors be put to good use.

Below are a few of the recent grand openings we’ve been able to support, attend, and celebrate. Are you a new business owner and getting ready for your grand opening for your brick and mortar shop? Reach out to Carlos Velazquez, Public Information Manager with OEDCA at carlos.velazquez@sanjoseca.gov and let’s see how we can support you!
