Residents from Titusville to Sebastian, FL will now be able to take advantage of a new mobile pet grooming service that beautifies pets at your location, rain or shine. Zoomin Groomin® offers a variety of traditional dog grooming and cat grooming mobile spa services, as well as in-home pet services and also residential services for the Pet Parent, such as eliminating pet hair and odors from pet bedding, upholstery, and area rugs. Zoomin Groomin® has just launched in Palm Bay and will cater to pets (and their owners) throughout the Space Coast area.

Your pet is the star of the show when Zoomin Groomin® comes to you. From the moment they arrive at your location, he/she is the center of attention. There are no cages involved with Zoomin Groomin®. They care about your pet and the environment so they use only the finest natural pet supplies available, as they recognize that harsh chemicals can damage a pet’s skin and the environment. Zoomin Groomin® takes the hassle and stress out of pet grooming. Dogs and cats can stay home and let Zoomin Groomin’s professional Groomers take gentle care of them in the safety of the mobile spa, or in-home. Ear, teeth and nail maintenance are the finishing touches.

Cathy Evans, a resident of Palm Bay, FL, is the new owner/operator of the Space Coast area’s Zoomin Groomin® Mobile Pet Spa. Ms. Evans has a tremendous love of pets and has two Coton De Tulear pups of her own. The Zoomin Groomin® franchise enables Ms. Evans to be her own boss while doing something she truly enjoys – pampering pets. Hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m to 7 p.m.

Prior to becoming a Zoomin Groomin® franchisee, Ms. Evans was a member of the Carnival Cruise Line management team where she was aboard ship for 25 years. Ms. Evans is a native of Vancouver, British Columbia and for 10 years previous to Carnival Cruise Lines, she managed a Vancouver travel agency specializing in cruises and business travel. She has been married to Mark Evans, originally from Wolverhampton, England, for 12 years.

“We cater to pet clients (and their owners) living in single family and town homes, as well as those residing in retirement communities, assisted living communities, apartment and condo complexes,” noted Ms. Evans.

She continued, “Our furry friends receive the royal treatment and we really enjoy doting on them. Because our grooming process is streamlined, pets don’t get stressed out as they would waiting around in a cage at a grooming salon. By making pets as comfortable and happy as possible, grooming becomes a very positive experience.”

Ms. Evans is extremely excited that Pat White of Palm Bay has joined her team. Pat has been in the dog grooming industry for over 30 years. She has been working in grooming management for the last 15 years. “I have been very blessed in my career and look forward to many more years of grooming.

Pan Mass Challenge’s Maine Man. Haley’s Tire’s Tim Haley is ready to ride and raise funds for Pan Mass Challenge.

Tim Haley of Haley's Tire
Tim Haley of Haley’s Tire

BIDDEFORD, BANGOR, AUGUSTA AND FALMOUTH, MAINE…

Last year, Tim Haley, owner of Haley’s Tire and Service Center, raised nearly $25,000 as a participant in the Pan Mass Challenge, the Jimmy Fund’s two-day bike ride from Sturbridge, Massachusetts to Provincetown, Massachusetts. The South Portland resident recently announced plans to participate in this year’s Pan Mass Challenge minus one traveling companion—cancer.

Diagnosed with stage IV colon cancer in May 2009, Haley endured several operations and rounds of chemotherapy. And while his condition improved to the point where he was cleared to take part in the 2010 Pan Mass, a recent CT scan revealed no evidence of disease (NED).

“I told my doctor, Doctor Brian Wolpin of Dana Farber in Boston, that as long as he kept giving me birthdays, I would keep participating in the Pan Mass Challenge,” said Haley. “With this latest development with the NED, I’m looking to raise even more money for this year’s ride.”

The $24,000+ Haley raised in 2010 earned him a place among the Pan Mass Challenge’s “Heavy Hitters”,an elite group of 1680 PMC riders who generated more than $6300 in funds for the Dana Farber Institute. Included among that group is Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. Cyclists in the 192-mile Pan Mass Challenge must raise $4,200 to participate.

“The research and work they do at Dana Farber is phenomenal and it benefits people from all the New England states, frankly, people from all over the world. In fact, my doctor, Dr. Wolpin, was one of three research doctors that discovered a new trial drug that may eventually help me if needed,” said Haley.

For this year’s Pan Mass Challenge, Haley is riding on Team Headstrong, a group of cyclists from several New England states. Team Headstrong has a goal of raising $75,000, which will go to Dana Farber and Dr. Wolpin’s research.

“The people on Team Headstrong are folks I’ve met through Pan Mass who either have cancer or have been deeply affected by someone in their lives who had it,” said Haley.

Those interested in making a donation to Haley’s fight against cancer can do so by:

  • Sending a  check payable to PMC Jimmy Fund and mailing to: Tim Haley, 43 Woodmoor Road, South Portland, ME 04106 or;
  • EGIFT credit card online; simply go www.pmc.org, click on the logo at the top left, then enter Haley’s EGIFT ID “TH0130”. All major credit cards are accepted.

“Winston Churchill once said ‘If you are going through hell, keep going’,” said Haley. “Having endured two years of treatment, I can assure you that cancer is a form of hell. Riding in the Pan Mass and raising money for research is the best way I know to keep going and help defeat this awful disease.”

So close…Coastal Volkswagen comes to Hanover; new Volkswagen dealership to open this July on Route 53 in Hanover

Coastal VW
Site of the new VW dealership in Hanover

HANOVER, MA…

Volkswagen owners and lovers are a special breed of drivers. Besides knowing what they like, VW owners are extremely loyal and willing to travel to get it. For VW lovers who live south of Quincy, that loyalty will soon be rewarded with the July opening of Coastal Volkswagen, located at One Saturn Drive in Hanover.

The new dealership, located on the southbound side of Route 53 just before the Hanover Mall, will sell both new and pre-owned Volkswagen automobiles. It will feature a state-of-the art service center with eight bays and customer amenities like a kids’ area, high-definition televisions and complimentary Wi-Fi in the waiting area. Coastal VW will also offer a complimentary shuttle service. Perhaps most importantly, the new dealership represents the only VW dealership and service center south of Quincy and north of Hyannis for Volkswagen owners who live, work or play in the Route 3 corridor.

“For two years, VW owners and people looking to buy a VW have had to travel quite a ways to get their car serviced or to purchase a new one. As good a mileage as VWs get, that can add up to quite a bit in gas money and be a day killer in terms of driving time,” said Richard Walker, co-owner of Coastal VW and a Hingham resident. “Besides the convenience for local VW owners, Coastal Volkswagen is a win for the local economy as we’ll not only be utilizing a site that’s been dormant for a while, but we’ll be hiring about 15 people to get the dealership up and running.”

Walker co-owns Coastal Dealership Group with Tom Norton of Cohasset. In addition to the 10,400-square-foot facility in Hanover, Coastal Dealerships owns and operates Coastal Nissan at 109 Accord Park Drive in Norwell and Coastal Auto Center located at 742 Cushing Highway in Cohasset.

Coastal Volkswagen will be open for business in the second week of July 2011 with 200 brand new VWs on the lot, including the much anticipated 2012 EOS, Jetta and Passat. The dealership will also have 100 pre-owned vehicles available.

“We’re positively thrilled about opening the new location and not just because our Sales Manager Mike Shea, a lifelong Hanover resident, will have a much shorter commute,” joked Norton. “A key part of the economy’s recovery is new small business creating new opportunities. We are looking forward to providing a boost to the South Shore area and giving VW owners a more convenient option for sales and service.”

For more information on Coastal Volkswagen, you can visit www.coastalvwboston.com..

About Coastal Dealerships Group

For more than 10 years, the Coastal Dealerships Group has not only made looking for a new or pre-owned automobile easy…but fun. Its latest dealership, Coastal Volkswagen, lives up to the standard set by the Group’s other dealerships, Coastal Nissan, located at 109 Accord Drive in Norwell, and Coastal Auto Center, located at 742 Cushing Highway in Cohasset. Coastal Volkswagen offers the same first-rate customer service and professionalism, with  no pressure sales and  straightforward, bottom-line pricing–including  fair trade-ins every time.

For more information on new and pre-owned automobiles, you can go to www.coastalvwboston.com or, come this July, stop by the dealership, conveniently located at 1 Saturn Drive in Hanover, just off exit 13 on Route 3.

Haley’s Tire’s “Maine Men”… Guy Norcross joins Haley’s Tire 20 years of service club.

Guy Norcross (far left) recently celebrated 20 years with Haley’s Tire & Service Center in Augusta. Pictured with Norcross are fellow 20+ year employees and Augusta residents Store Manager Dale Cushman and Auto Technician William Baker.

BIDDEFORD, BANGOR, AUGUSTA AND FALMOUTH, MAINE…

Earlier this month, Augusta resident Guy Norcross celebrated his 20th anniversary as an employee of Haley’s Tire, located at 300 State Street in Augusta. With his anniversary, Norcross, an auto technician, joined an elite club of Haley’s Tire employees who have served more than 20 years with the company, which opened its first store in Biddeford, Maine, in 1970.

The other members of this elite group include Auto Technician William Baker and Store Manager Dale Cushman, also of the Augusta Haley’s Tire store and service center. In addition to working at the same store and being Augusta residents, Baker and Cushman both started at Haley Tire’s on the same day, May 27, 1987. Bangor Store Manager Harry McDonald, a Hermon resident who celebrated his 20th anniversary last year, rounds out this elite group of employees with two decades or more of service.

“When my father and grandfather began the business, they wanted it to be a place where customers and staff would feel like part of our extended family,” said Tim Haley, general manager of all four Haley’s Tire locations. “That we’ve had four individuals like Guy, Bill, Dale and Harry stay with us for so long, not to mention another seven of our employees who have been with us 10 years or more, means we’ve succeeded in that regard.”

Frederick Haley, Jr. and Frederick Haley founded Haley’s Tire in 1970 with its Biddeford store located at 124 Elm Street. An authorized Goodyear, Dunlop and Kelly Tires dealer, Haley Tire’s also offers repair services, including oil changes, alignments, brakes service (including free brake inspections), transmission maintenance, computerized engine analysis and much more at all four locations (August, Biddeford, Bangor and Falmouth).

Beyond great products and service at a fair price, Haley’s Tire has engendered loyalty from customers and staff, in part, due to the active role store leadership plays in the community. Tim Haley is on the board of directors for the local chapter of The Salvation Army. Haley’s Tire is also a regular participant in the American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life”.

“We sell national tire products like Goodyear, Kelly Tires and others, but when you get right down to it, we’re selling our company and what we stand for,” said Haley. “Providing a great product and service, being a company people want to work for and stay with and giving back to the community are things we take great pride in. It may seem like we’re doing something special here, but it’s really just following the vision my dad and grandfather had for the company when we started.”
