Kalamazoo, MI, March 2022 – Kalamazoo Northside natives: Kim Guess of Guess Who’s Dancing Fitness LLC and Symphony Ollie along with Muskegon native Bryan Sims are set to open the First black-owned event Venue. This venue will be located on Kalamazoo mall (Farmers Alley Side). Although The Xperience is not the 1st black-owned event venue in the city of Kalamazoo, it will be the 1st of its kind to be located in the downtown area. 

After finding that it was almost impossible to find a space for her dance fitness classes (Twerk Fitness), Kim and Symphony went on a hunt to find a commercial space of their own. With the private investment of Bryan Sims & big city exposure from living in Houston, TX for 15 years the three of them found the perfect location in the City Center Plaza on the Kalamazoo Mall owned by Kalamahajan LLC. Kim Guess notes that: “this is the perfect location and the perfect time to be in this position. We are extremely humble and blessed that Kalamajahan LLC. gave us the opportunity to create history by being the 1st black-owned entertainment venue in the Kalamazoo Downtown District. We are also in the final steps of securing and owning our own class C liquor license, which is a huge undertaking. Kalamazoo as a whole has grown so much in diversity & inclusion and we are proud that our presence will be a physical representation of that.” 

“The Xperience” is the perfect place. With over 3200 square feet of open floor space, featuring bright light gray interior walls, floor to ceiling front windows, iron chandeliers, adjustable lighting, and a fully stocked bar with custom cocktails (priced separately). The Xperience is a great canvas to create your very own LuXury Escape. 

The feng shui foyer entrance leads to a spacious luxury vinyl wood floor and elegant pillars. The high industrial black ceilings create a feeling of space and luXury feel. The location of the Downtown Kalamazoo Mall City Center creates a great backdrop for beautiful photo opportunities that only “The Xperience” can provide.
