West Palm Cowboy Club Ribbon Cutting 

“Last week, we celebrated the soft opening of the West Palm Cowboy Club.

As West Palm Beach continues to grow as one of South Florida’s most vibrant destinations for dining, entertainment, and culture, our downtown continues to attract new businesses that add to the dynamic spirit of our City.

Concepts like the West Palm Cowboy Club add something fresh to downtown — serving up great BBQ while adding to the vibrant nightlife that draws residents and visitors alike. With live music, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere, it’s designed to be a place where people can gather, celebrate, and enjoy a great night out.

To the team behind West Palm Cowboy Club — thank you for choosing West Palm Beach and for investing in our downtown community. We are excited to see this space come alive with music, great food, and good company.

Congratulations on this exciting new venture!” — Mayor Keith A. James 

Location: 200 Clematis Street, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401 | Grand opening March 26, 2026

PBA Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Business Hall Ribbon Cutting

"We recently celebrated the opening of the Marshall and Vera Lea Rinker Business Hall at Palm Beach Atlantic University (PBAU). For nearly six decades, PBAU has been an important part of the fabric of West Palm Beach. For 58 years, this university has helped shape the life of our City — not only through the education it provides, but through the students, faculty, and staff who serve, lead, and contribute to our community every day. As our City continues to grow and attract national attention as a center for finance, entrepreneurship, and innovation, the need for talented, prepared leaders has never been greater. Facilities like this ensure that the next generation of business professionals will be educated, trained, and ready to contribute to our evolving economy. On behalf of the City of West Palm Beach, I want to congratulate Dr. Schwinn and the dedicated team that brought this vision to life. We are grateful for Palm Beach Atlantic’s continued presence in our City and for the ways this university enriches our community. Thank you — and congratulations on this incredible milestone!" — Mayor Keith A. James

The CRA Celebrates Serene Beauty Suite Grand Opening at Styx Promenade

Congratulations to Serene Beauty Suite on its official grand opening at the Styx Promenade!

This celebration marks both the launch of an exciting new business and another milestone in the continued transformation of the Historic Northwest neighborhood.

Once home to historic shotgun-style houses along 7th Street, the Styx Promenade has been thoughtfully reimagined to honor the area’s architectural character and cultural heritage while creating new opportunities for local entrepreneurs to thrive. The preserved original structures serve as a meaningful link between past and future.

Following a competitive selection process, the CRA proudly welcomed owners Yaneek Facey and Kimberly Winn, whose vision for wellness, self-care, and empowerment is already bringing energy, connection, and opportunity to the community while helping shape the promenade into a vibrant, walkable destination.

We are proud to support businesses that strengthen neighborhoods and celebrate culture!

City Partners with The Leadership Haven and Keen Ideas Consulting for The Next Level PANEL

The City of West Palm Beach, in partnership with The Leadership Haven Resource Center and Keen Ideas Consulting, is hosting The Next Level PANEL, a curated leadership experience for business owners ready to scale, connect, and lead at the next level. This event will take place on Monday, May 4 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Mandel Public Library of West Palm Beach, 411 Clematis Street.

This after-work convening brings together strategic leadership and business voices from across Palm Beach County for an intentional conversation on what it truly takes to grow and scale with clarity and purpose.

Unlike a traditional panel or networking event, The Next Level PANEL is designed to create space for insight-driven dialogue, meaningful connection, and practical perspectives. Participants will engage in guided conversations, hear from leaders navigating growth in real time, and connect with peers equally committed to forward momentum.

Registration is open and space is limited. Register now at thenextlevelpanel.eventbrite.com.

The Next Level PANEL is part of a three-part leadership series designed to support business owners at different stages of growth and readiness. Each session stands alone as a complete experience, while collectively offering a deeper exploration of leadership, strategy, and scaling over time. Upcoming sessions are listed below, with additional details and registration links to be shared at a later date.

Upcoming Sessions:

• Session II: Thursday, July 9, 2026 Calculated Risk: Protecting Growth While Expanding Influence
• Session III: Thursday, September 10, 2026 Beyond the Bottom Line: Leadership, Legacy, and Long-Term Impact
