We're Growing!
June 24 2020
    From the Clay County Bank location South, for years, that's been a dead zone or at least a seedy area of downtown Clay. That's changing quickly with the opening of three start up businesses.
    That's Shay Edgar just above. It there was ever a business location remodeled from top to bottom, it's this building just across from the Clay County Bank. Not sure what all the trinkets, clothing and more are, but, our guess, women will love the selection and the Spic and Span operation. Shay's Boutique's opened for business June 13th.




   Little Country Tobacco opened in May and carries a line of tobacco products. When we visited the store (just across from the DHHR operation) plans were being considered to expand into munchies and bottled drinks.




  We can't think of a worse time to open than during a word wide pandemic. The Williams family did that and with success. In the beginning, window service offered the public a place to purchase meats , fruits, and veggies. When keep it shut orders were lifted, the front door opened and walk in business took off with an expanded product line  at the ready.
  As with Shay's, the Small Town Market location, the old Seneca Grill building, under went a complete make over from ceilings, HVAC, down to the flooring. The place is very sharp on the inside

  There you have it for the downtown Clay additions. All built and opened during the worst of times in the Nation. That section of Town has come alive and looks much better than for years. The coming sidewalk upgrades should enhance that end of Town big time.




 
  With growing interest in promoting the Elk River for Summer time family fun, Melody Cottrell took up the banner and opened a Kayak rental business. Her location is in the same building as Clay Recycling in Two Run , just up from Go Mart. Check em out:   https://www.clayyakrentals.org/
