The Ribbon Cutting & Grand Opening for

   Connect Cafe & Events at Market Square  

Friday, December 5, 2026

107 E. 2nd Street | 11:00AM

We’re thrilled to help welcome Connect Café & Events to Market Square with a special Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Friday, December 5th at 11:00AM at 107 E. 2nd Street in the heart of Downtown Chillicothe.

Connect Café & Events is opening its doors with a mission rooted in connection, culture, and collaboration — creating a vibrant gathering place where our community can eat, sip, shop, and truly connect. From a fully trained barista team and a fabulous new menu to pastries, breakfast, lunch, and all-day good vibes, this space brings a fresh energy to Market Square (formerly known as Fort Collective) that we can’t wait for everyone to experience.

Opening day will be packed with excitement, including major giveaways, local gift cards, Connect Café merch, $1 drinks, bakery treats, and surprise prizes throughout the day. It’s clear this team has poured their hearts into building not just a café, but a welcoming home base for community, conversation, and purpose.

Join the Chamber as we cut the ribbon, celebrate this new chapter, and officially welcome Connect Café & Events to Downtown Chillicothe. Bring your friends, your appetite, and your energy...it’s going to be a day to remember! 

The Ribbon Cutting will take place at 11:00AM. We hope to see you there!
