A new floral and arts store is opening on Broadway this Tuesday.

Leilani Schatz and fiance Pat Hart have put their hearts into the new store, Broadway Floral of Hearts, renovating a 900-square-foot space in the Cowan Building at 411 E. Broadway.

Schatz will put together fresh cut flowers in modern arrangements, she said. Her fiance's daughter has canvas paintings and Hart creates rough-cut art out of metals.

Schatz has experience working and running a flower shop, and is excited about the downtown location. They've repainted the walls in warm tones, put up handmade curtains from Schatz's mother, have art covering the walls and redid the ceiling. The space looks and feels like a warm, downtown flower shop.

Schatz said their hours will be 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, with extended hours to 7:30 p.m. on Thursdays. They will hold some Saturday hours, but have not determined those exact times yet.

Group acupuncture

An acupuncturist has moved into Country West Plaza and has begun practicing "community acupuncture."

"It's acupuncture that's set up to be more accessible to people, because you can treat more than one person at a time and you can make it less expensive,"said Elicia Faul, owner of the one-woman shop.

Faul, who received her master's degree at Bastyr University outside of Minneapolis, is setup in 1702 Burnt Boat Drive, suite 107, and is by appointment online. You can check her out online at http://looseleaveshealing.com.

Community acupuncture is a style of therapy where people are treated together, in a space set up like a living room. She said it's a comfortable setting and allows for sliding scale fees.

"I'm excited to make this available to people,"Faul said.

Shredder expands

A Fargo-based shredding service has expanded its offices into Bismarck.

Record Keepers, a family-owned file shredding service, moved into an 8,200-square-foot space at 2624 Vermont Ave.

Todd Henderson, sales manager, said the company has worked in western North Dakota for about four or five years, but they were recently awarded a contract with the state of North Dakota for their shredding needs. Kelly Buchholz was hired to manage the Bismarck office.

"With that added volume out there, it only makes sense to have that office,"Henderson said.

The 16-year-old company specializes in secure storage, management and shredding of sensitive and confidential records.
