Pet lovers gathered at the Pet Boutique & Salon to celebrate their Grand Opening in Vermilion on June 1. Owners Carolyn Green and Kelsey McNutt were thrilled to welcome dignitaries and guests on their special day. They have been open and serving people and their pets since January 7. “It has been very exciting and the community has been fantastic with their support. There are so many great dogs around here that come in,” said Carolyn Green. Guests relaxed and enjoyed hamburgers and hotdogs as well as cookies and cupcakes. Some came with their pets, and the animals were the highlight for both guests and owners. Customers clearly appreciate the high level of care they receive. “We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Pet Boutique & Salon for their leadership and courage; showing confidence in investing in our community. We would like to wish them the best of success,” said Councillor Justin Thompson. The retail and grooming location offers everything from food to giftware. They have enjoyed working with local entrepreneurs as well as ones from Lloydminster, Fort McMurray, and Sylvan Lake. In addition, they encourage people to check out what all they offer and look forward to continuing to serve the community.
