Cheers to 10 Years with Carrie McGruder “Brickhouse Massage and Spa” Would you like to slip away from your busy life for a relaxing getaway? A trip to a spa is the ultimate in pampering and relaxation.

The Brickhouse in Spokane Valley offers the perfect local place with its full service Day Spa, Coffee Bar and Gift Shop, along with a staff of 24 which provide award winning customer service!

to provide mini spa services to parents, staff members, and even some of the

Open since 2004, owners Carrie and Mike Magruder are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year. When asked about the beginning of their business Carrie shares, “After 13 years of climbing the corporate ladder, I was victim to downsizing. The closer I got to being replaced, the more I realized I was ready for a shift. I decided to combine my favorite things and create a setting that would allow a team of dedicated individuals to truly enjoy the art of serving customers. A place so comfortable and inviting to our clients that stress becomes a side note.”

One of the most popular packages offered is the “Perfect Three” Spa Package that combines their three most popular services into a three hour spa package. It includes a 60-minute full body massage, a 60-minute organic Facial and a 50-minute Classic Pedicure. Plus, clients receive their favorite Latte, Truffle and a Take-Home Gift.

Regularly priced at $223, the Perfect Three is on sale for the season at only $192.

In the past 10 years Carrie and her team have gathered an impressive number of local awards: Best Day Spa (KREM 2 Best of Voter Poll), Best Massage (The Inlander’s Best of Voter Poll), and Best Manicure/Pedicure (Spokane CdA Living Voter Poll).

They have also received several nominations for Business of the Year by the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce. Part of what makes them so special is the work they do with the American Childhood Cancer Organization of the Inland NW (ACCOIN). A team of therapists makes monthly visits to the oncology unit 6

patients.

Already a warm and inviting atmosphere, 10 years marks a time of celebration and change.

They are planning a make-over with new flooring throughout, new pedicure chairs as well as beautiful updated furnishings. The Gift Shop is growing with new and unique items, and all are welcome to enjoy the cozy seating to sip their favorite coffee drink and browse using the free Wi-Fi… no appointment needed!

Drop in today for a cup of coffee and a tour of this great local business. They are conveniently located just East of Evergreen on Sprague Avenue in the Spokane Valley.

Plan to join us for our After-Hours event at the Brickhouse August 25 (see page 8) and read our blog where Carrie answers more questions, talks about their other specials, and includes more about the trials and joys of starting a new business, on our website in a Q&A format – visit www.spokanemetrowomen.com.
