On Friday, June 19, 2015, Oakland business owners joined in the hometown celebrations for the Warriors’ parade. It was amazing to see the amount of #dubnation being celebrated by our clients on Twitter and at their businesses.
Some businesses offered Warriors-inspired discounts, like the Double Standard and Taiwan Bento.
Others reminding us that local pride extends to where we stop in for parade snacks and celebratory beers, like Mandela Food Cooperative and Brotzeit Lokal.
Others opened late so they could join us at the parade, like Umami Mart.
Some hosted celebratory events, like The Octopus Literary Salon. We popped downstairs to jam with the musicians who were engaging the audience in chants of “Warriors!” and “Champions!”.
