Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce Hosts Ribbon Cutting for Embers of Hope Counseling and Bob Watkins Realty

The Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. to welcome one of its newest members, Embers of Hope Counseling, LLC, and to congratulate Bob Watkins Realty on their newest business location. Both offices are located at 7318 Parkway Drive, Leeds, AL 35094.

Each business had the opportunity to cut their own ribbon, surrounded by members of the Leeds Chamber, city officials, friends, and family who came out to celebrate the occasion.

Bethany Dowling, owner of Embers of Hope Counseling, shared, “I’ve been here for two years, but I am excited to be part of the Leeds community. It’s been a blessing to serve families in Leeds, Moody, Pell City, Springville, and Odenville. God has given me the desire to be a therapist, and I hope to be an even better therapist in the years to come.”

Andy Watkins, of Bob Watkins Realty, added, “We’re happy to be in Leeds! We moved our office from Hoover to Leeds, and it’s a great place to do business and to live.”

The Leeds Area Chamber of Commerce was proud to celebrate both businesses and looks forward to their continued success in the Leeds community.
