The Pasadena Chamber of Commerce is happy to celebrate new members and new businesses in our area. We also are pleased to be part of our members' anniversaries and other celebrations.

This past year has seen a dramatic rise in membership in the Chamber. Thank you to everyone who promotes Chamber membership and passes along your experiences about involvement with the Chamber.

Pasadena Chamber members are our best sales force. When you mention your membership in the Chamber to other businesses, it motivates them to join, as well. Again this fiscal year, we are offering a free advertisement in the 2015 Busniess Directory, Community and Vistor Guide worth $795 to the Pasadena Chamber member who recruits the most new members by June 30, 2014.

If you would like the Chamber to stage a ribbon cutting ceremony to mark your business milestone, please email kelly@pasadena-chamber.org.

  • Join us Wednesday, September 24, 2014 10:00 AM as we celkebrate the opening of Major Dave's Chicken at 163 N. Hill Avenue in Pasadena. Major Dave’s Chicken offers a new concept in fried chicken - free range chicken raised without steroids, hormones, or GMO feed, and freshly made side dishes prepared daily using minimal processed foods.  Both the original and spicy chicken recipes are flavorful and juicy, and whether you order the chicken hot or cold (yes, that’s cold, as in refrigerated and perfect for a picnic), the chicken is always tasty, always crispy.  With your chicken, sold a la carte by the piece, you have your choice of side dishes, all of which are fresh, whole-food dishes made in small batches throughout the day. One of the top sellers in the first few weeks of business is Whipped Garlic Cauliflower with chives and chicken gravy, a healthier and tastier alternative to heavy, carb-laden mashed potatoes. Other popular sides include Toasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon,  Kale Caesar Salad, and a good old-fashioned Roasted Corn on the Cob served in the husk with butter and rosemary.

  • We cordially invite Pasadena Chamber of Commerce members to celebrate the opening of the Pasadena office of NR Andrea Law Firm.  The ribbon cutting ceremony will take place on October 2, 2014 at 12:30 p.m.  at  225 S.
