Riverside Pavilion to celebrate renovation with “Big Game Give-Away”

Add comment April 2nd, 2008

Riverside Pavilion retail center — 5875 E. Riverside Blvd., at the corner of Mulford Road in Rockford — has been through a major renovation. This week its merchants are celebrating with prizes and discounted specials, culminating Saturday with the “Riverside Pavilion-Ace Hardware Big Game Give-Away” from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Visitors can register all this week to win a new 42-inch LCD HDTV: the “Big Game Give-Away” grand prize to be awarded that day. 

The 87,000-square-foot retail center was acquired in 2007 by Paul Hemmer Companies — a Cincinnati, Ohio-based real estate development, building and construction services firm — and then went through the renovation. Ace Hardware then opened as an anchor store.  Other businesses at the center include Cardinal Fitness, Island Tan, Domino’s Pizza, Hallmark, Moto Photo, ADT, Concord Custom Cleaners, Great Clips, Island Tan and Weight Watchers.
