New at Point Hope: Hachiya Ramen, Philosophia, UPS Store and More

I recently got my hands on an updated list of what businesses are coming to Point Hope this year.

I have to be honest with you: I lit up more than any grown adult should.

Take a look at the list yourself to find out why. ⬇️

I have a toddler. Which means I have a revolving door of Amazon toys at my front door that are a hit for roughly three days and then dead to him.

Right now, that means a 20 minute drive just to drop off returns, on a weekly basis.

But soon, it'll be a 5 minute loop.

This is the kind of thing that changes a dad's whole week..

and I will not be convinced otherwise.

What's coming soon

1️⃣ Hachiya Ramen A rainy day bowl of ramen, a golf cart ride away from the house.

2️⃣ Philosophia Our community's first Greek spot. That means zucchini fritters are available to you 6 days a week. (Closed on Mondays.)

3️⃣ The UPS Store See above. Emotional support location for parents of small children.

4️⃣ Penny's Pet Pawlour For everyone out here walking a dog every morning, which from what I see on my own street is quite a lot of us.

5️⃣ Bon Secours Urgent Care Can you ever have too many options for urgent medical care? By the looks of it, we're about to find out.

6️⃣ Integr8 Pilates For the folks who have used the morning traffic as an excuse to quit before they even started, a good workout spot is going in next door.

And here's the thing: that list is growing by the month.

A few buyers I've had looking in our area lately have asked me what's actually landing over there.

So, I started keeping a running list of everything local that's open for business and on the way.

Fair warning, there's more coming to this corridor than most of us even realize.
