PUTNAM — Rain seemed fitting for the grand opening of Blossom Nails and Spa May 22.
Town, Putnam Business Association and Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce officials welcomed the business to Putnam.
And the feeling was mutual as owners Nhi Ly, her husband Trung Ly and her sister-in-law Trinh Ly, picked Putnam because of how welcoming it is. Nhi Ly said they loved the local activities and the location of the business, on the busy corner of Kennedy Drive and Providence Street.
Nhi Ly said she’s been in the nail and spa business for more than 10 years and has a day spa in Massachusetts. Her sister-in-law has two nail supply businesses and one salon in Massachusetts.
“The town is so nice and so are the townspeople,” she said.
Mayor Barney Seney said Blossom Nails and Spa picked Putnam because it is supportive of new businesses and because of how welcoming the community itself is. He said they had remarked that the permit applications went smoothly. The town helped make it easy to do business in Putnam.
Elle-Jordyn Sherman, executive director of the Northeastern Connecticut Chamber of Commerce, thanked the business for joining the northeastern Connecticut community. “We appreciate you being here,” she said.
Sheila Frost, vice president of the Putnam Business Association, welcomed the business saying “We’re so happy to see you here” and she said she’s happy to see small business continue to grow in the area.
Mike Bogdanski of the town’s Economic Development Commission echoed her thoughts calling Putnam one of the biggest growing towns in northeastern Connecticut. Putnam, he said, “has the best people.”
