| Ski Country Antiques launches modern expansion
Its easy to see why Ski Country Antiques on Floyd Hill is in need of a distribution center. The large, barn-shaped building is fully stocked with antiques and has already been expanded. Now the antique store is developing a new line of furniture, making an additional building necessary. The new development started when Ski Country Antiques owner Brian Kleinwachter got together with his construction-savvy Floyd Hill neighbor, George Johnston. The two became partners and formed Floyd Hill Development LLC.They bought 9 acres of land in February 2005 on the north side of Interstate 70 and started designing the distribution building, which will be phase one of a much bigger, $3 million construction project.Phase two includes three smaller buildings that Floyd Hill Development LLC hopes to lease out to a bank, convenience store and maybe even a small lodge.

Antique store grows in new location
GRANDVILLE -- Ever since her high school years, Carol Kuester has been in love with old things. Her passion for antiques and styles of furniture was so pervasive her mother used to tell her she was "born in the wrong era." It was that love that led Kuester and her husband, Holger, 10 years ago to start Somewhere in Thyme, an antique and crafts store that leases space to collectors and artists. The Kuesters have relocated Somewhere in Thyme from its original location, 2410 Chicago Drive in Hudsonville, to the 4165 Chicago Drive SW, site of the former Grandville Home Furnishings store. The move provides Somewhere in Thyme with better exposure and more than twice the space -- with a total of about 14,000 square feet -- offered at its Hudsonville site, Carol Kuester said.
