HAPPENINGS Local

The Amery Professional Building ribbon-cutting event occurred on October 7, 2022, with nearly 100 people attending. After 40 years of owning the Amery Professional Building located at 228 Keller Avenue, once called The Olde Garage, Mr. Ronald L. Anderson transferred ownership to Ms. Sally Ann Klevgard on June 23, 2022. Klevgard fully relocated her PaperWorx business and opened its doors in the newly renovated building on August 1, 2022, along with these additional businesses: Accurate Advisory Group, Aspen Guardian Services, Inc., B’s Stop-In Shop, Edina RealtyClaire Gille, Law Offices of Firkus & White, LLC, and The Smoke Shop.

Anderson, the current Slumberland owner in Amery, has also owned many of our city’s Main Street buildings over the years, as well as a multitude of prime properties. As a steadfast supporter of Amery, he stated that he feels quite proud of Klevgard’s revitalization of The Olde Garage. Anderson expressed, “It was a labor of love for nearly ten years when I redid the building from a car garage to what it is today—people would not have a clue.” Anderson would also like to recognize Klevgard’s love of Amery and wishes her much success and congratulations on “being a great Ambassador of our beautiful city.”
