TUCSON, Ariz. — They're creating a joint event center in what is currently a storage space. The 6,000 square foot space is right between the market and bar. It’ll be run by owners of both businesses.
“Currently there isn’t a major event space downtown so we felt there was a need,” said Nick Eggman, Co-Owner of HighWire. “The event space they can rent out for anything from your birthday parties to corporate events to wedding rehearsals or actual weddings,” said John Hardin, Co-Owner of HighWire.“To begin with my husband and I already have an event center," said Kelly Abbott, Co-Owner of Johnny Gibson’s Market."So it's always kind of been something that we’ve all thought about from day one.”“A lot of work needs done in this space," Eggman said.
The space is currently being used for storage, but construction will begin in a couple weeks. The hallway leading into the event center will be decorated with memorabilia of Johnny Gibson. Gibson was a barber, war hero, and athlete who was deeply loved in the Tucson community.The owners expect construction to be complete by next April.Bivian Contreras is a real-time editor for KGUN 9.
