As an internationally certified Designer and Event Planner, Ugochi Nwachukwu is the selfless CEO of Enchanted Events creating lasting memories and impressions with The balloon bouquet , as her new addition, The Balloon Boutique, a gift concierge service, comes to life.
At Enchanted Events, the CEO enthused, “We have been doing this over the years, bringing the most innate dreams and desires to life. We had an added desire to go even further in enhancing this personalised service driven experience, through creating a complimentary service to work hand in hand with our existing business.”
For Nwachukwu, this would further create value for her clients in the form of a “One Stop Shop” offering of luxury event design, planning, unique gifts and memorable events.
Then-East Chicago Fire Department Paramedic Randy Anderson opened Safari Beach on 45th Avenue in Munster in the early 1980s and it quickly became a destination for those seeking a more bronze hue.
The tanning salon took off so much he was able to quit his job and work full-time as a business owner. It started as a side project and blew up from there, Anderson said.
His tanning business expanded to also include salons in Merrillville and Chicago. But in 2003, he sold them all to L.A. Tan, a chain that quickly spread around the Region.
Anderson opened a new Safari Beach Tan in Valparaiso in 2004 with standup booths he developed.
