Employ & Econ Development Dept issued the following announcement on May 14.
Bob "Slip" Hall and his wife Judy Hall own Slip's Sharpening, a small business in Coon Rapids. Slip's sharpens knives, scissors, shears, and clipper blades, and also repairs clippers. The mainstay of their walk-in clientele – hair stylists, barbers and animal groomers – all worked in businesses that have had to temporarily close due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Unable to cut hair or clip fur, these clients didn't need their tools sharpened. But the Halls also serve emergency veterinary clinics, which have continued to operate and need sharpened, functioning clippers. "That made us essential enough to offer curbside pick-ups and drop-offs," says Bob.
The couple put several safety measures in place. People dropping off an item call when they arrive. They put the item on a special table set at the entrance, then fill out a ticket.
"It's been working well," says Judy. "We've ramped up sanitation of course. After each visit, we wipe off all the door handles and everything."
