Grab a bite to “EAT!” in Downtown Casper

Best known for their special events and catering services, Occasions by Cory has expanded their offerings by providing dining services called EAT! to the Casper community.

Located at 303 S. Wolcott, the remodeled downtown location was opened in December for events, and just recently introduced EAT! into the location. With the pandemic causing events to be put on hold, the team at Occasions by Cory got creative on how to keep business moving forward. To do this, they decided to start offering small plates, salads, sandwiches, tacos, and more for people to come dine in and enjoy.

Cory Poulos, the president/owner, described their offerings as “fast and casual,” as friends or family can come in and share different small plates to get a taste of a little bit of everything. In addition, the community can come in and enjoy the beautiful event space, without having to be apart of an actual event.

Along with tasty food, other offerings include a full bar and a patio in the back to sit out and enjoy the weather. They are currently open weekdays Monday-Friday from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm for lunch, as well as Wednesdays and Thursdays from 4:00 pm – 8:00 pm. To stay up to date on news and specials, make sure and follow their Facebook page!

When it comes to your next place to grab a bite to eat, don’t forget to try out the new EAT! location in #MyDowntownCasper

A New Business in Bloom: Pink Lion Design Company brings a unique twist to flowers in Downtown Casper

Offering flower arrangements for weddings, events, home décor and more, Pink Lion Design Company has opened their doors to the community in the Atrium Plaza, downtown Casper. The unique twist, all of the flowers are made of wood and never die.

Michelle Webb, the owner along with her husband Jonathan, has always had a love for flowers. Michelle was a fresh florist when she was younger, and a few years ago she decided she wanted to open her own flower shop. In the midst of planning and looking for wholesalers, Michelle came across wooden flowers and “completely switched gears” she explains.

Made from tapioca root, the wooden flowers can be made into just about any type of flower. Along with that, the flowers can be hand painted virtually any color, which is what caught Michelle’s attention right away. “I can control how each flower looks” explained Webb.

After spending a year learning how to paint the wooden flowers to make them look realistic, and running her business from home for a year and a half after that, Webb and her husband sought out for a new location and came across the shop in the Atrium plaza, “it felt like home.”

The Webb’s renovated the space and had their grand opening on February 8th to welcome customers into their new shop. As guests enter the store, they will notice that flowers aren’t the only thing on display as they are also selling items from other home-based businesses including furniture by Sagebrush Designs and handmade earrings from Earrings by Danielle to name a few. This aspect ties into their vision of a having a design company rather than just a floral shop, as they want to include several designed goods within their store from multiple designers.

To add to the long list of offerings, Pink Lion Design Company provides daily deliveries on flowers for convenience, but they also encourage customers to come into their store by offering public and private classes where people can create their own pieces to take home with them.

Open Monday through Friday 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. and Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m., Pink Lion Design Company is a wonderful new creative addition to #MyDowntownCasper

As guests enter the restaurant, they will be greeted with bold sayings on the restaurant windows such as “Award-winning baby back ribs,” “Fish so fresh you’d think we had ocean-front property in Wyoming” and “Best Lunch in Town!” These sayings speak for themselves once guests sit down inside the restaurant, and enjoy the wonderful food that it is.

Located at every table, Rib & Chop provides guests with a selection of their signature sauces including Mild BBQ sauce, Garlic Sriracha BBQ sauce or Hot BBQ sauce to enjoy with their meal.
