New Covington business celebrates with open house weekend | Business

COVINGTON, KY (FOX19) - Granite World, a new business to Covington, is pleased to announce a Grand Opening weekend on Friday and Saturday, January 20 and 21.

The event will introduce the public to Granite World’s new 8000 square foot showroom located at 123 West 14th Street, Covington, Kentucky.

Typically, when shopping for this product customers are required to go outdoors, which can be limiting. Granite World’s owner, Joe Nienaber, recognized the need to create a different experience for his customers by purchasing and converting a large, open warehouse space that will allow clients to shop for granite indoors in a new climate controlled showroom.  

When searching for the perfect location, several factors helped to convince the owners that Covington was the right home for their business. Mr. Nienaber commented, "The revitalization of 12th Street was a huge influence in the decision to locate in Covington, and in particular to that area of Covington. It is a beautiful corridor and allows convenient access to the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area."

"Covington is thrilled to welcome Granite World to its Urban Core" said City Manager Larry Klein, "The 12th Street Corridor was designed with a vision of increased visitors, residents and businesses to Covington, and Granite World has the potential to bring all three into our community."

Granite World’s open house is scheduled for Friday, January 20 from 5:30-9:00 PM and Saturday, January 21 from 7-11 PM.

The event is open to the public. All are invited to come browse the showroom. Food and beverages will be provided.
