Chamber Hosts Ribbon Cutting for Pet
Grooming Salon
The Warner Robins Area Chamber of Commerce
welcomed Bath, Bed and Biscuit to the Chamber
family with a Ribbon Cutting ceremony on August
8, 2007.
Located at 1221 Houston Lake Road, the grooming
salon caters to all types of dogs. Owners, Chong
and Gerald Trimble, along with their daughter
Mindi, have been in the dog grooming business
collectively for almost 3 years.
Bath, Bed and Biscuit specializes in the grooming
of Cocker Spaniels and Schnauzer style dogs.
“It was intended to be my hobby, but it quickly
grew into a small business because of the high
demand for boutique children’s clothing in
Warner Robins,” says Kent. “Now, 7 months
and 4 employees later, we now have a permanent
location in the hottest spot in town.”
The business has grown from a small rack of
clothing to a 1,200 square foot store full of high
end clothing, shoes, toys and everything needed
for your precious little ones.
