Rosh Ha'ayin Hosts Successful Holiday Fairs Boosting Local Businesses
Ahead of the High Holidays, the Rosh Ha'ayin municipality, through its Business Promotion Department, organized a series of fairs across four commercial centers in the city. Titled "Hosting Centers," these events aimed to connect residents, creators, and local businesses in a festive atmosphere. The fairs took place at the Lev Afek, Lev Tal, and Shapir Center commercial centers, as well as a center on Shvetsi Street.
The events attracted residents and families, bringing a holiday spirit to the commercial areas with stalls featuring local businesses, artists, and creators. Visitors found holiday gifts, jewelry, handmade candles, soaps, and children's activities, with the primary goal of fostering a connection between the community and local businesses, encouraging local shopping.
The initiative was a collaboration with the managers of the commercial centers and businesses on Shvetsi Street, who supported the fairs and participating businesses. The project also received funding from the Ministry of Economy as part of its efforts to promote local entrepreneurship and businesses.
Mayor Raz Sagie praised the project's success, stating that local businesses are crucial for Rosh Ha'ayin's resilience and growth. He emphasized the municipality's commitment to creating opportunities, strengthening businesses, and encouraging residents to shop locally. Sagie highlighted that strong local businesses contribute to a city's success by creating jobs, fostering initiative, providing services, and enhancing commercial life and community connection.
He thanked the Ministry of Economy for its assistance, all partners involved, and the Business Promotion Department for their year-round work. The mayor urged residents to continue supporting local businesses to strengthen the local economy. The fairs are part of the ongoing activities of the Business Promotion Department, managed by Michal Glickman. The department is planning future initiatives for the upcoming year, including more events, a podcast studio, professional training in management and marketing, and a city networking group.
The municipality invites business owners to join the city's business community, register on the municipal website's business directory, and join a dedicated WhatsApp group. Business owners are encouraged to reach out with their needs and explore potential assistance and promotion opportunities.
