Niles, OH, USA: Esther Rathnam, Director of Corporate Marketing for The Cafaro Company, explains, 'We are very pleased with the job Klondike has done with the Eastwood play area.  The seating is fantastic quality and the attention to detail is the best we have seen so far.'

'Thank you so much; from my perspective it looks very cool.  Please pass my appreciation on to your crew for their hard work during this project. Getting it done so quickly was great.  Thank you again.' Regional Marketing Director for Cafaro, Mark Ferguson, comments at the Grand Opening.

Steve De Marco of Klondike, was one of the lucky few that had the privilege of attending Eastwood Mall’s invitation only Grand Opening Celebration.

“The planning that must have gone into this, let alone the re-development of the property, took years in the making.  It’s obvious that there is a strong emphasis on family by the Cafaros and I am extremely impressed with their commitment to the community of Niles.  It was a pleasure to finally get a chance to meet the Cafaro family, and see first hand how our Klondike Soft Foam Play Area played a part in the extensive redevelopment of this wonderful mall.”

"We want to celebrate something positive in the community," said Anthony Cafaro Sr., president of the Youngstown-based company.

“The Valley is economically on the downhill a little bit and for the Cafaros to come in and make this major investment is really something,” stated Niles Mayor Ralph A. Infante Jr.  "This not only helps Niles but the entire Mahoning Valley.”
