On Monday, Feb. 24 the Garretson Commercial Club hosted a ribbon cutting for their newest member, Grace’s Grooming. Regular Gazette readers will recall that Grace Feauto opened a dog grooming small business at her home here in Garretson back this past June of 2024.

Feauto has enjoyed a resounding success since opening this past summer, with a high work volume and bookings for appointments with her stretching out for a month and change currently. Commercial Club representatives had a nice chat with the Feautos about what her daily tasks and workload looks like, the remodeling done in the garage with her dad to make the space viable, and the joys and challenges of owning and operating a small business.
