Factory Square’s grand welcoming
A night to remember.
On June 29th, 2016, Factory Square hosted it’s Grand Opening to the Waterloo Region community. We welcomed well over 200 guests for a sneak peak of our 215,000 square foot space. Guests learned, laughed, and enjoyed delicious food & beverage to boot. A huge thanks to all who could join us! The Factory Square Grand Opening gave guests the chance to explore the revamped space from end-to-end, complete their “passports”, and indulge in delicious catering by the Charcoal Group. Attendees also enjoyed fine Californian wines, inspiring speeches, and supreme music by five time Juno winner Alan Frew.
