The Almont Downtown Development Authority welcomes “Toes in the Sand Tanning” to our business community.  Business owner, Matthew McGowan, recently purchased Isla De La Sol Tanning in downtown Almont.   Opened since September 1, 2011 under the new name, Toes in the Sand Tanning, he has been busy re-decorating and updating their interior space.    Matt has engaged his customer base in surveys to solicit opinions on everything from paint colors to other interior improvements to encourage local input and to create a sense of fun.  Managed by his mother, Gail Berta, Toes in the Sand offers five tanning beds including a stand-up tanning booth.  Walk-in and package pricing is available with monthly specials.  What better way to prepare for that special trip or event or simply to chase the blues of shorter days of sun away than with a trip to the tanning salon.

The Almont Downtown Development Authority welcomes Sherri’s Barber Shop to our business community.  The Almont DDA wishes to invite the entire community to a traditional ribbon cutting ceremony at 11:00 am on Thursday, July 9th.  Refreshments will be served.

Sherri Rodgers, store owner, has been practicing the art of barbering for 25 years.  A ten year barber shop owner in St. Clair Shores, Sherri  relocated to Lapeer County nine years ago and has been serving clients in Lapeer and Oakland Counties ever since.  Sherri was attracted to locating a permanent business in Almont for a variety of reasons.    Almont has been without a traditional barber shop for some time and she saw a need in the community for these services.  The opportunity to locate on Main Street in a beautifully restored storefront has given her shop the image reminiscent of the old time barber shops of years past.  Decorated in traditional men’s’ furnishings focused on a hunting and fishing motif, her shop offers men a comfortable place to take care of all their grooming needs in a relaxing atmosphere.  Her shop is conveniently located in the heart of downtown - offering her clients easy access to the Post Office, banks, bakery and gas stations.

Sherri’s Barber Shop is a full-service men’s barber shop specializing in flat tops, buzz cuts, regular cuts, beard trims and precisions shaves.  She offers hot lather shaves, a service not readily available in many other locations. 

Sherri’s Barber Shop is open Tuesday-Saturday with walk-ins welcome.  Monday hours are by appointment only.  They are located at 125 N. Main, next to Buccilli’s Cakes.  You can reach Sherri at: (810) 798-8500.

Raider Country Coney Island is open 7:00 am to 10:00 pm Monday through Thursday; 7:00 am to midnight Friday and Saturday; and 8:00 am to 7:00 pm on Sunday.   They are located at 208 N. Main.   Their phone number is: (810) 798-2272.
