Liberty also provides free tax advice and free checking of self-prepared returns at its offices.
Tom Stellpflug said he learned about Liberty Tax after being downsized from a local business and while looking for an opportunity to become self-employed. He learned of it from Dave Woggon of Holmen, who has a franchise consulting business.
Jeff and Nikki Horihan of La Crosse have started Sanitizing Solutions Inc.
They sell Air Lights brand air purifiers, which use ultraviolet technology. The Horihans say the air purifiers can be used by homes and businesses to clean the air by killing bacteria, viruses, mold and fungi; neutralize toxic gases; destroy unpleasant odors; and remove harmful particulates.
The new business also offers a residential and commercial dust mite mattress, carpet and upholstery cleaning service, using the Mitee Clean system. The sanitizing process involves a high-power vacuum system, ultraviolet germicidal light and anti-allergen sanitizing spray. Sanitizing Solutions’ phone number is (608) 78-CLEAN or (608) 782‑5326, and its Web site is www.sanitizing solutions.net.
Gina’s Pies Are Square at 400 Main St. in Wilton, Wis., is for sale, said owner Gina Rae, who opened the pie shop in 1997. “The restaurant is still open and will remain so until a new owner starts calling the shots,” she said.
Rae said she plans to try her hand at a new profession. She grew up in Wilton, earned a degree in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and then ran a clothing store in New Hampshire and another in Mississippi, where she later worked for an independent bookstore. site liberty tax service
Rae said the asking price of $195,000 includes the building, kitchen equipment and right to use any current menu items but doesn’t include the business name. Gina’s is listed with Gerrard-Hoeschler Realtors.
A going-out-of-business sale is under way at The Clay Basket Floral and Gifts at 417 Main St. in Lansing, Iowa, according to owners Kate and Steve Troendle.
The store will close “when everything in my inventory is gone,” Kate Troendle said. “I have lots and lots of giftware.” She also sold fresh flowers until the end of 2006. The business and the building are for sale.
She hasn’t had many days off in her 14 years with the business, Troendle said of closing.
Until it closes, hours are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday.
