Three businesses, all located in the Antioch Business Center at 505 West Second Street in Antioch’s historic, downtown Rivertown held their ribbon cuttings and a joint reception on Wednesday, May 25. First, it was 3 Bling Queenz, followed by East Bay Bankruptcy Law & Financial Planning and then Rapunzel Wigs.
The three owners were joined by family, friends, Antioch City and Chamber of Commerce leaders and members, who helped welcome them to the downtown.
“I’m excited about what is happening in downtown Antioch,” said Toni Holland, owner of 3 Bling Queenz. “I’m just grateful and thankful for meeting all the people in the past few months. They really have my back, especially Ms. Rapunzel, Angie, for taking me under her wing.”
Lizeht Zepeda, the City’s Economic Development Manager welcomed Holland and her business to downtown.
“I want to say this is the heart of Antioch,” she said. “It’s so important to support businesses in the downtown.”

“I think it’s great to have this type of business here in downtown” said Zepeda.
“It’s bringing a new level of professionalism to downtown,” added Jack Monroe of the Antioch Chamber of Commerce.
