Posted by Amanda Pittsley on Jul 12, 2023 10:00:00 AM

 

We are thrilled to announce that Swenson Stone Works' Grand Opening at our East Wareham, MA  store was a tremendous success! We celebrated the timeless beauty of granite and natural stone with our valued customers. The event occurred at our new store at 3120 Cranberry Highway on Cape Cod, solidifying its position as the ultimate destination for all hardscape project needs. Let's take a moment to revisit this memorable occasion, featuring pictures, prize winners, and the promotion of our East Wareham location throughout the rest of the season.

 

 

Nestled on breathtaking Cape Cod, our East Wareham location is the perfect destination for coastal homeowners and contractors looking for durable materials that can stand up to our harsh New England coastal weather. At Swenson Stone Works, we understand the unique needs of coastal living, which is why our extensive collection of granite and natural stone products is carefully curated to offer both beauty and longevity. Our commitment to coastal curb appeal was further emphasized during the grand opening, where attendees discovered how these materials enhance the charm and low-maintenance allure of their New England coastal homes.

 

 

The grand opening event treated visitors to an array of exciting experiences. Guests had the chance to shop from our large variety of in-stock products. This exclusive opportunity allowed homeowners and contractors to transform their outdoor spaces with high-quality products. At the same time, they  enjoyed a special 10% discount on their purchases, which featured clearance items at unbeatable prices. It was a prime occasion to kick-start the projects that elevated the coastal curb appeal of their homes.
