The May 9th grand opening invitation says it all: “There’s a New Cowboy in Town.” It’s a clever play on words for the Branding Iron, which offers marketing, design and printing services under one roof in the Harbor Square Business Complex near the Edmonds waterfront.

The Branding Iron printing department is run by co-owners Mesfin Mengesha and Lillyan Hendershot, who used to work together at Office Max. Hendershot also provides graphic design services through her firm, Naked by Design, while marketing services are offered by Peter Wilson of BizMktg.

For those seeking a conveniently-located downtown printer, Hendershot says they offer “very, very competitive” prices for black and white and color printing, folding, laminating, coil binding and cutting services.

The grand opening celebration begins at 4 p.m. Friday with the ribbon cutting at 4:30 p.m. The location is 120 W. Dayton St., Ste. B1, Building 2.
