Greyhound Bus Station – renovation will begin on exterior
After purchasing the Greyhound Bus Station, John Allen – John H. Allen Company Inc. – said he will begin restoration on the exterior of the building.
Allen purchased the 5,000-square-foot facility at 407 East Main Street from Doris Hollowell for $319,000.
The Jackson station was built in 1938 by Hubert Owens Construction Company, and continued to function as a Greyhound bus depot until Sept. 29.
The Jackson station is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Greyhound is now conducting business at Mega Mart, a convenience store at 1400 Highway 70 East.
Kutz & Kolorz opens on West University Parkway
Samuel Michael-Pearson found the inspiration he was looking for to open his own business while attending church, and after working eight years as a stylist for SuperCuts, he opened Kutz & Kolorz Salon at 180 West University Parkway.
“It was something I’ve been wanting to do,” Samuel said, “The sermon was on talent, but there was fear, and I was scared, but the sermon allowed me to have faith and courage.”
Kutz & Kolorz Salon, which opened July 8, made it official with a ribbon cutting, Monday.
Business hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. – or later on Wednesdays, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., Saturdays.
