One thing that makes the Plant City community so unique is its continued dedication from local business owners to give back to their community.
Marco Ramirez, owner of City Cuts Barbershop, throws a unique back-to-school event every year to show his appreciation for local residents. Despite the dreary weather, his shop at 1803 James L. Redman Parkway was filled to capacity all day long as folks lined up to get $10 haircuts and participate in the annual event.
Two long rows of chairs inside the shop remained full throughout the day and at many points there were even people standing in the corners and leaning up against the walls to take advantage of the deal. Volunteers from Universal Insurance of Plant City Inc. were also on site to help with the festivities.
Attendees were welcomed with free food and drinks and entered into giveaways for a variety of door prizes. Backpacks filled with school supplies were also handed out during the event. Doors opened at 9 a.m. and some of the barbers participating in the event said there was hardly a moment the seats weren’t filled with customers, both young and old alike. They estimated they gave far more than 100 haircuts throughout the day.
Ramirez recently opened a second location at 5306 U.S. Highway 92 in February of this year. The back-to-school party is just one of the many unique events City Cuts holds each year. Follow them on Facebook for more information about upcoming events.
