Located in the heart of downtown Grand Rapids since 2007, the historic post office is our home — known for its unique artwork embedded in the façade. This high-energy area, with a ton of foot traffic, is situated in an up-and-coming area and within walking distance to the Van Andel Stadium. Rated as one of the best places to raise a family, thousands flock to Grand Rapids in the fall to participate in Art Prize, a community event we’re proud to be involved in, as well as many other local charities, including Miranda’s Beautiful U, which focuses on positive self-esteem for school-aged girls.
