A couple years ago, Briana Tran and husband, Tony, added a grocery store to their portfolio. Full of fresh produce, proteins and Asian cuisine must-haves, the two businesses combined adds a lot of jobs and convenience to the Vero Beach area.  This year, Briana was recognized for her efforts by being nominated as the Minority Business of the Year. After submission, the Indian River Chamber’s Economic Development subcommittee for Industry Appreciation met to discuss all the finalists. On Oct. 27th, over a dozen awards were bestowed to well deserving business leaders in the community as “of the year” winners and those recognized for their architectural enhancement to the exteriors of their business. It was a distinguished event, full of local dignitaries and proud professionals.

By shopping local whenever possible, donating for various causes and employing dozens of people thereby helping to stimulate our area, Briana Tran accepted the award for Minority Business of the Year. With a growing family and strong roots in the community, Mrs. Tran was elated by the warm welcome and applause. She was even more excited to see how many in the room were regular customers.

On behalf of the Treasure Coast Insider, a big congratulations goes out to Briana Tran and her entire family and team!

As Vice President of White Glove Moving & Storage, we remain open as an essential service. Hence, with real estate still going well, we are able to assist. In fact, a number of jobs have doubled in size due to folks from the Eastern corridor’s inability to travel at this time.

However, as a talk radio host, the show must go on. To date, we have had great community updates and tips for how to’s while at home.  With some of our sponsors closed through April, consider supporting them by booking appointments or getting gift cards come May.

True Colors Salon will re-open May 2nd, now we can wash all that gray right out of our hair. Foxy Nails & Spa will also resume manicures, pedicures and waxing by appointment only. Good news, this is just in time for Mother’s Day!

As for Caliber Home Loans, if you no longer wish to be an apartment dweller after Covid, call them for a free consultation. Home a home with a bit of land and have a stronger sense of security.  Of course, you can count on White Glove Moving & Storage to help with all that heavy lifting; near or far.

In closing, shop local when you can. Try to get some fresh air. Do what you can to stick to a schedule so when we resume, you can be ready.

Remember, we really all are in this together. Social distance when you can, wash your hands often and tune into talk radio and other outlets so you can be kept in the loop of all the changes happening daily.

Be well!
