A "soft opening" is an unofficial busines opening that occurs with no announcments or publicity a few weeks prior to a ribbon-cutting event at a grand opening. Usually the mayor, a few elected officials and the business' management attend an official opening.
Businesses have soft openings to allow managers and employees to learn about their customers, have experience operating the store, and refine their daily operations.
