There s a group of small businesses that have recently opened in Alice. The small business venture is a growing trend as family-owned businesses have popped up in the area despite a not-so-great economy as South Texas realigns after the hardships of a challenging post-year after the pandemic.
The 611 Venue on Commerce Street held its first wedding Saturday, April 17 and has softly opened its doors while owner Jaime Flores and partner Henry Perez finish the last details to what they call a South Texas Premiere Event Center.
The elaborate space will cater to weddings and quinceañeras with enough room to occupy much larger events than the average venue. The 611 Venue, is just one of many endeavors the South Texas entrepreneurs have added to their list as area home health agency owners, a property building company, a limousine business and a car wash.
