Carrie Burke opens The Golden Spa LLC, a full-service pet grooming shop in East Palestine Village
Summary
Carrie Burke, owner of The Golden Spa LLC, said she opened the business on June 9 and operates a full-service pet grooming shop for dogs, cats and exotics on State Route 14. She cited a decade in veterinary care, plans to support local youth sports and hopes the shop will help East Palestine Village’s economy.
Carrie Burke, owner of The Golden Spa LLC, said she opened the business on June 9 and operates a full-service pet grooming shop for dogs, cats and exotics along State Route 14 in East Palestine Village. She did not specify the year she opened.
Burke described roughly 10 years of experience in veterinary care before opening the shop: she said she began grooming training in 2011, graduated from that program in 2013 and completed an associate veterinary assistant degree in 2015. She said she worked an externship beginning Oct. 1 and spent multiple years in general practice and emergency veterinary roles. "After 10 years in the veterinary field, you get mentally drained and physically and emotionally exhausted. So I wanted something happy," she said.
The Golden Spa offers grooming services for canines, felines and exotics, including exotic nail trims. Burke said her first patient was a bearded dragon. "When you bring your pet here, you're not just getting care, you're getting exceptional care," she said, attributing that standard to her prior veterinary experience and training.
Burke said she chose the shop’s location for visibility on State Route 14. She told the meeting that people are coming from Boardman and from "PA, the Deer Falls Chippewa," a phrase that appeared in the transcript and was unclear; the transcript did not provide further clarification about that reference. The storefront’s highway exposure, she said, helps passersby notice the business.
Beyond services, Burke said The Golden Spa is engaging locally: the business will appear on the banner for her son's Bantam football team and has donated baskets for community events. "I would like to see East Palestine thrive," she said, adding that she hopes more businesses will open in town.
No formal actions, votes or requests for permits were recorded in the transcript excerpt. Burke provided contact and service details during her remarks but did not state business hours or an exact street address in the provided transcript.
