Los Al Stores Celebrating Tutoring Center's New Site With Deals, Treats

A Los Alamitos tutoring center will celebrate its new digs Saturday, and seven other businesses will join in the party by offering discounts, treats and free samples.

From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., the Kumon Math and Reading Center of Los Alamitos will hold a Halloween-themed party in honor of its new suite at 10688 Los Alamitos Boulevard.

“I just got really busy, fast,” Rockenmacher said.  

“Kumon actually likes instructors to do grand openings when they open, but I opened with a bang, and I didn’t have time to plan a grand opening," Rockenmacher said.

So, to she's throwing a belated grand opening celebration.

At Kumon, they're planning to have face-painting, balloon artists, bingo, refershments and story readings from local children’s book author Rozanne Lanczak Williams.
