Junction City, KS — September 12, 2025 — Celestial Sweets is opening its doors in downtown Junction City with a Grand Opening celebration on Friday, September 12th at 4:00 PM at 725 N Washington Street. As part of the festivities, Junction City Main Street will present Celestial Sweets with its First Dollar, and the Junction City Area Chamber of Commerce will welcome the business with a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony.
Owner Ranee York, who recently relocated to the area, saw a unique opportunity in Junction City to pursue her passion while contributing to the growth of downtown. “Everyone has been extremely supportive and welcoming,” York shared. “It’s been such a huge help knowing I have the support of other businesses in the district.”
Celestial Sweets offers a wide variety of treats made fresh daily — from cheesecakes and eclairs to cookies and locally sourced ice cream. Bringing her southern flair to the menu, Ranee says she’s excited to introduce more fruit-based desserts as part of the shop’s offerings: “We lived on fruit in the south, and I’m looking forward to sharing that tradition here!”
