Ribbon Cutting: Designer Collection Optical

  The Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce and the town’s Economic Development Committee celebrate the opening of Designer Collection Optical on May 10. 

  The new store in Royal Oaks Plaza at 15470 NW 77th Court offers eyewear for kids and adults as well as eye exams. Vice Mayor Tony Fernandez led a champagne cheer before the owners cut the ceremonial ribbon. 

    “Cheers to you guys and cheers to a family affair,” Councilman Bryan Morera said. “I know you have another branch at another location and I’m very grateful you chose Miami Lakes as your next location.”  From left: Councilman Ray Garcia; Tico Casamayor, president, public relations, Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce; Councilman Bryan Morera; Raico Belmas, owners’ nephew; Economic Development Committee Chair Matthew Casamayor; Israel Ezkanazi, family friend; Co-owner Mitzania Blanco; Aliana Alcanmutz, grandmother; Tania Reyes, mother; Co-owners Lissy Domenech and Alex Polanco; Vice Mayor Tony Fernandez; Ray Palacios, Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Committee; Janet Miret Mazon, Roberto Cavalli representative; Fred Senra, president, Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce and Denise Sainz, Miami Lakes Chamber of Commerce Young Professionals Committee.
