Serving Lincoln County for more than a century!
Serving Lincoln County for more than a century!
Mobile Pet Spaw owner Marcell Woolsey is opening a brick-and-mortar pet salon in Davenport this fall. The salon will be known as The Davenport Pet Spaw.
DAVENPORT-A business that serves most of Lincoln County through a couple mobile trailers will soon open a physical location here. Mobile Pet Spaw plans to open a brick-and-mortar spot called The Davenport Pet Spaw in the same building as Mauna Wellness Studio on First Street later this fall with goals of further serving customers with pet grooming needs.
Owner Marcell Woolsey has operated Mobile Pet Spaw in Lincoln County for five years and is moving one of her groomers to the physical location here once the building is finalized near the end of October to beginning of November.
The mobile services offered won't end, but new clients won't be accepted. However, new clients will be accepted for the Davenport salon by appointment-only.
"We may have a waitlist," Woolsey said. "There's just such a huge demand in Lincoln County because people don't want to drive all the way to Spokane for pet grooming."
Around 640 animals are served by the business in Lincoln County every year, Woolsey said.
"Clients usually pre-book for a year out," she said.
The salon will serve dogs only and will predominantly be served by Bri Kranzmann, a groomer who has been based at Woolsey's Spokane salon on Northwest Boulevard.
Woolsey and Rebecca Mattox will still be the groomers for the mobile business. Mattox will be moved to the salon one day a week, while Kranzmann will be in Davenport three days a week, Woolsey said.
The suite will be located behind other business suites, so the address of the location is currently undecided, Woolsey said.
The business has grown drastically since its beginnings in Woolsey's previous dining room in Creston.
"My husband got tired of that, so he built me a grooming trailer," Woolsey said.
The Woolseys recently moved to a house north of Davenport and have two daughters. Leonard Woolsey owns Royal Tree Company, a locally-based arboriculture business.
