Side Bite Inc., a new business in Hamilton, held a grand opening ceremony and ribbon cutting on March 8.
SideBite is a model car racing shop where patrons can race 1/32-scale plastic models. The shop includes a 5-lane track, tables where people can build race cars, and a snack bar.
In addition, the second level of the building features space for private events and parties.
Owner Latif Michail, a resident of Hamilton, said he has always had a love for racing cars, and wanted to create a place where he could share that love and vision with his kids.
Michail purchased the 2-story building at the space, located at 2595 Yardville Hamilton Square Road, that was originally constructed as one of Hamilton’s first firehouses.
“Sidebite is dedicated to fun for the whole family by providing a unique, safe environment for racers of all ages to come and play,” Michail said. “We are committed to showing the youth in Hamilton (and beyond) the joy there is in building something with their own hands and watching it in action.”
Hamilton Township Mayor Jeff Martin and Councilman Anthony Carabelli were present at the grand opening.
“We are thrilled to welcome Side Bite as our newest family-friendly business to Hamilton. It’s the perfect addition and really is for kids of all ages, young and old,” said Mayor Martin.
