CHAMBER News:

New Los Alamos business SALA Los Alamos Event Center is officially opening Thursday, Dec. 1. The community is invited to help celebrate SALA’s opening in the former Reel Deal Theater at 2551 Central Ave., with a Ribbon Cutting ceremony and many other activities 4-9 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1.

Allan Saenz announced the purchase of the Reel Deal building in August. Saenz and co-owner Sammi Owens started an LLC called LA Angels Investment Co. to buy the building. The SALA Los Alamos Events Center will keep its former use while also making some changes.

“The theater is reopening not only for movies but for many other things,” Saenz said. “That is the idea of the name “SALA”. Sala in Spanish is a room or an open space and SALA is going to have open spaces for different kinds of activities.”

Saenz also is the owner of losalamos.com and the owner of Los Alamos Network, which provides internet service to Los Alamos, White Rock and Sierra Los Piños in the Jemez Mountains.

Food will be provided by Muy Salsas and the Hill Stompers will provide live music at the Dec. 1 Grand Opening Celebration. Los Alamos Golf & Games will be providing games and beginning at 7 p.m. there also will be a movie.

Even if you can’t attend, consider becoming a “Friend of SALA.” Enroll here.
