We continue to shine our spotlight on the local businesses who host North Tampa Bay Chamber (NTBC) ribbon-cutting events โ€” as a no-cost add-on to their Chamber memberships โ€” and this issue is no different. We really hope youโ€™ll tell these businesses that you first read about them in the Wesley Chapel Neighborhood News! 

On April 16, Board-certified vascular surgeon Avianne Bunnell, MD (at right in photo below, with NTBC president/CEO Hope Kennedy), and her staff at their new location (at 3450 E. Fletcher Ave., Ste. 330, Tampa) of Pinellas Vascular, hosted a great party for their Grand Opening, with food, a wine tasting and tours of the new office. 

According to its website, Pinellas Vascular, โ€œprovides the most advanced, low-risk treatments available anywhere to help improve your quality of life.โ€ At the ribbon cutting, Dr. Bunnell said, โ€œWe are now serving patients with vascular and arterial diseases, diabetic patients…and we also have a wonderful nurse practitioner (Chelsea Hermez, APRN) providing aesthetic services (including cosmetic injections, weight management strategies and vein ablations and sclerotherapy).โ€

On April 30, periodontist Jeffrey Hameroff, D.D.S. (right), the founder of โ€œJust Pull It,โ€ a unique dental office that specializes in low-cost, same-day tooth extractions, welcomed NTBC members to the ribbon-cutting event celebrating the third anniversary of the Just Pull It location at 1942 Collier Pkwy. in Lutz (across Collier Pkwy. from Pizza Suprema).ย 

Dr. Hameroff opened the first Just Pull It in Spring Hill in 2018 and today has four Tampa Bay-area locations, including one off U.S. Hwy. 301 in Zephyrhills, with two more offices opening soon. 

โ€œItโ€™s simple,โ€ Dr. Hameroff told the NTBC members in attendance. โ€œNo other dental office does what we do โ€” especially for only $250!โ€

And finally, on May 1, regional director of operations Chris Laurella (left) welcomed NTBC members to the new Clean Freak Car Wash at 32359 Overpass Rd., just east of Curley Rd., behind the coming-soon Chick-fil-A. The ribbon-cutting event also included free tasty coffee beverages from Travelinโ€™ Tomโ€™s Coffee Truck.ย 

Laurella described the differences between Clean Freak โ€” which has 30 locations, mainly in Arizona (Wesley Chapel is the companyโ€™s first in Florida) โ€” and other โ€œtunnelโ€ car wash chains. 

โ€œThereโ€™s not a lot of water in Arizona,โ€ Laurella told the NTBC members who followed him on a tour of the new Clean Freak (the tunnel wash system was turned off for the tour), โ€œso we do everything we can to reduce our environmental footprint, like our water recycling system and using eco-friendly chemicals. Our tunnels also feature the latest car wash technology.โ€ He even showed the tunnelโ€™s unique soft brushes (below) โ€œthat wonโ€™t damage your vehicleโ€™s paint job.โ€ 

Clean Freakโ€™s parent company, True Blue Car Wash, LLC, was acquired by the parent company of Circle K. So, your $19.99 monthly membership also earns you discounts on fuel at participating Circle K locations.
