                        Tuesday, August 20, 2024

  Ms. PETTERSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize European 
Gourmet of Arvada, Colorado for receiving the Arvada Economic 
Development Association's 2024 Outstanding Retailer Award. Each year, 
this award honors an Arvada business that demonstrates an exceptional 
contribution to the local economy and commitment to excellence in 
service.
  Since the Bien family founded the business in 1999, they have worked 
hard to offer a wide variety of traditional Polish and Eastern European 
treats, such as their sausages, hams, cheeses, bread, pierogies, and 
sweets. Today, European Gourmet has earned the reputation as a top 
destination for Polish and Eastern European cuisine in Colorado, with 
people from around the state traveling to Arvada to experience their 
authentic foods and great service.
  On behalf of the people of Colorado's Seventh Congressional District, 
it is my honor to congratulate European Gourmet on receiving the 
Outstanding Retailer Award and for their contributions to the Arvada 
community.
