Crew Carwash coming in 2021
GREENFIELD — Crew Carwash plans to build a new location in Greenfield next year.
The Indianapolis-based company intends to demolish the commercial building that once housed F.C. Tucker at 1726 N. State St. and build the car wash in its place. An affiliate of Crew Carwash recently bought the property for more than $1.1 million.
Justin Furr, director of real estate for Crew Carwash, told the Greenfield Plan Commission in June that the project will likely start next spring.
The project calls for a 5,764-square foot, one-story building, according to documents filed with the city of Greenfield. Three stacking lines will funnel vehicles into a single line that loops across the property and into the building. Vacuums will also be installed on the property.
Crew Carwash has 33 locations in Indiana, according to its website.

Funeral home adds new therapy dog
GREENFIELD — A certified therapy dog, Foster, is the newest four-legged addition to Stillinger Family Funeral Home’s staff.
The 5-month-old Labradoodle will help foster relationships, healing and offer support to families and clients visiting the Greenfield funeral home. Foster joins his four-legged brothers Harley and Harper, who also provide support. Stillinger Family Funeral Home was one of the first funeral homes in Indiana to offer canine support during services.
Foster completed therapy dog training and certification with Ultimate Canine in Westfield. According to his trainers, his outgoing temperament and desire to please make him a “natural” therapy dog.

McCORDSVILLE — A hair salon’s future is in a shop once dedicated to objects of the past.
The owner of The Studio: A Hair Salon plans to renovate and move into where Alice’s Antiques once operated at 6300 W. Broadway. The salon has been at its current location, 8023 N. County Road 600W, Suite 102, since 2017. Lindsay Syrus, the salon’s owner, told the McCordsville Board of Zoning Appeals earlier this month that the business needs more room to expand.
