Welcoming new businesses to Norwalk

Our chamber office has been busy with ribbon cuttings as we welcomed many of the new businesses to town. We celebrated three ribbon cuttings with Norwalk Parks and Recreation for the Elizabeth Holland Park, Windflower Pickleball Courts and Great Western Trail projects. These new features in Norwalk have been amazing additions for our residents to enjoy.
 
The Johnson Retail Center had a fun community event with three ribbon cuttings celebrating the opening of True Roots Chiropractic, Rock Valley Physical Therapy and Johnson Orthodontics of Norwalk. The remaining business, Bellflower Florist and Gifts, will have a ribbon cutting celebration after their official opening. Another exciting ribbon cutting event and grand opening celebration happened at Holland Farms Senior Living with a reception that included food, music, and tours. We also welcomed Auburn Moon Boutique as a new online business based in Norwalk.
 
Several new business members have joined the chamber including Amore Pets of Norwalk, Iowa Hearing Center, Greater Des Moines Home Builders Association and Rexco Equipment, Inc. We are excited to have these businesses join our valued membership.
 
Our chamber has received a few requests for the new Iowa maps. Those wanting to travel with a paper map can stop by the chamber office and pick up the new 2021-2022 Iowa Map from the Iowa DOT. Office hours are Monday thru Friday 9 am to 4 pm or by appointment.
 
Thank you to all the businesses and volunteers that supported the Norwalk Music Fest event. If you are interested in helping organize or volunteer at the next community event, please contact the chamber office. We are happy to connect our residents with volunteer opportunities and community resources.

Why a CRM is a Game-Changer for Local Businesses in Norwalk In a community like Norwalk, where business thrives on trust, word-of-mouth, and personal relationships, staying connected is everything. Whether you're a real estate agent, insurance advisor, salon owner, chiropractor, mortgage lender, or local service provider, your long-term success depends on how well you nurture and maintain relationships. That’s where a CRM (Customer Relationship Management system) comes in. A CRM helps local businesses streamline communication, track client interactions, and follow up at the right time—without dropping the ball. It’s more than just a digital address book; it’s a powerful tool to build loyalty, increase referrals, and grow your business with intention. For small business owners in Norwalk looking to stay organized, show up professionally, and keep customer service personal, a CRM might just be the most valuable system you’re not using yet.
