Plymouth-based print shop now offers custom phone, tablet cases in addition to printed apparel.
Judging by the size of the business' new facility, Patrick Kelleher has big plans for Headfirst Printing, his custom printing company. Previously located in Plymouth's Old Village, Headfirst Printing relocated this year to a sprawling industrial park space at 14680 Jib Street in Plymouth Township. While it's still growing into its new space, it already has tapped into new printing methods that allow a larger array of custom-printed promotional merchandise. One of the new additions is smartphone and tablet cases, both for wholesale buyers and custom individual prints through TheGreatCase.com, a new division of Headfirst Printing that allows customers to upload their own art and order custom-made protective cases for many of today's most …

Gym moved in 2012 from Old Village to historic downtown building.
When Crossfit Lower Town moved in 2012 from its former Old Village digs to the historic Saxton's Garden Center storefront in downtown Plymouth, owner Brian Schaefer said he wanted to keep the building's decades-long history intact. Saxton's Garden Center, a family-owned fixture in the area for more than 80 years, closed its longtime storefront in late 2012. Saxton's Power Equipment LLC, run by former employees of the tractor and mower shop, relocated to the rear of the building at 587 W. Ann Arbor Trail, which occupies the equivalent of two city blocks downtown. While the crossfit gym now occupies the former Saxton's showroom, the large Saxton's lettering on the rooftop that has become somewhat of a downtown icon will remain intact, …
Tyler Zonca of Specialty Pet Supplies in Plymouth Township reveals which ingredients to seek when finding food for Fido.
With so many brand-name selections and dogs' often indiscriminate appetites, it can be tempting for many pet owners to simply shop for the most cost-effective food to fill Fido's dish. But what is best for your dog? Tyler Zonca, dog food specialist at Specialty Pet Supplies in Plymouth Township, says pet owners should pay careful attention to the ingredients listed in many brands of dog food before choosing a food for their dog. Zonca says to look for meat as primary ingredients on any selection of food and avoid foods advertising soy, corn and what he considers "fillers." Because dogs digest foods differently than humans, he said, foods such as corn do not provide nutritional value to dogs, yet often are among the primary ingredients in …

Cold-pressed juice company offers raw options from downtown Plymouth production facility.
When one walks into Drought's downtown Plymouth building seeking a refreshing serving of juice, they might initially be taken aback by the stacked boxes and industrial surroundings. Co-owners—sisters Jenny, Jessie, Caitlin and Julie James and friend Bianca Colbath—explain that their building primarily serves as a production facility and less of a storefront. Their product, raw, cold-pressed juice, is made to order on two days' notice and the storefront, they say, isn't your average juice bar. Utilizing organic fruits and vegetables, Jenny James says, Drought caters to Plymouth's increasing desire for healthy, artisanal food options. The James sisters returned to their native Plymouth after years of working in New York City to find a more …
