Secondhand boutique moving into permanent downtown home

in business

After just under a year of providing the community with an affordable option when it comes to clothing, consignment boutique Little Red Door is preparing to open its own brick-and-mortar location in downtown Turlock. 

Little Red Door opened last fall as just a small space inside of downtown shop Rustic Roots — a humble beginning that sisters and boutique owners Marissa Miranda and Isabella Cisneros now look back on fondly as they prepare to welcome customers to their new space on the corner of East Main and Thor. 

The boutique aims to give discarded fashion a second chance through a selection of up-cycled clothing hand-picked by the duo. Miranda and Cisneros frequent thrift shops in search of quality fabrics and one-of-a-kind items seldom found in stores today, from vintage Levi’s jeans to handbags from the 60s.

Outside haircut? Modesto-area salons take scissors to streets amid COVID-19 closures

in People

As hair salons and barbershops remain closed for indoor cuts, a few intrepid Central Valley stylists are taking their clippers into the great outdoors instead.

After being shut down again last month because of the continued spike in COVID-19 infections in Stanislaus County, salon owners were given the green light to cut hair outside — with safety and other restrictions. But the realities of cutting hair on city sidewalks and asphalt lots in the midst of a sweltering Central Valley summer are something else entirely.

Still, for Revive Salon owner Jackie Wilson, who opened her new downtown Oakdale salon at the start of June, it’s the only way she can stay in business. So she is making the most of the much less-than-ideal situation by cutting hair on the walkway in front of her salon.

“We’re trying to make the best of it and make the best out of a difficult situation. But it’s a difficult situation for everybody. This is a way for me to give stylists a way to work,” Wilson said. “If you can envision going camping and getting a haircut, that’s what this is like.”

Stanislaus County website teaches business owners how to safely reopen during pandemic

in business

MODESTO, Calif. (KTXL) — When it comes to tacos, burritos and nachos, the chefs at Taqueria Mis Compadres on Sylvan Avenue in Modesto know how to cook it up.

But when it comes to state and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines on reopening amid the COVID-19 crisis, manager Nayeli Vazquez told FOX40 she and her staff got a little help.

“It’s not only basic training but it reinforces everything that you should be doing in a restaurant already,” said Vazquez.

Dave White is the CEO of Opportunity Stanislaus and he told FOX40 that county leaders worked to ensure mom-and-pop shops had access to CDC and state guidelines on how to safely reopen.

Turlock hair stylists embrace re-opening, despite restrictions

in business/People

After weeks of uncertainty as to when they would be able to cut hair again, stylists at barbershops and salons throughout Stanislaus County finally got their answer on Tuesday as Gov. Gavin Newsom announced they could once again welcome clients into their chairs.

California, which issues one of the earliest statewide stay-at-home orders in mid-March to curb the spread of coronavirus, has been opening its economy in stages. While the state is currently in phase two of its re-opening plan, Newsom has given some counties that meet certain health criteria permission to move further along than other parts of the state.

On Tuesday, Stanislaus County was included as 47 of the state’s 58 counties that have met that criteria. In addition to restaurants and retail which were allowed to open last week, barbershops and hair salons can now re-open with modifications, including strict cleaning requirements and face covering protocols.

Turlock Instacart shopper weighs strike over working conditions, pay

in Job/People

A Turlock woman who works for Instacart said she may join a strike against the grocery delivery app for safer working conditions, which she said is essential as she and her co-workers shop in crowded stores during the coronavirus pandemic.

“I feel badly for the customers that it will affect,” said 38-year-old Andrea, who asked that her last name not be used and said on a busy day she shops for and deliver groceries to about 10 households. “But I think they (Instacart) should do a lot more to protect us.”

Andrea said anything that makes Instacart workers safer also makes Instacart customers safer.

Public life comes to a halt under threat of coronavirus

in Economy/Health

In just a matter of days life in Turlock and the rest of the country changed dramatically because of COVID-19.

Schools, government offices, churches, movie theaters, bars, restaurants, shops, and other businesses have either closed or drastically changed their operations in a collective effort to keep COVID-19 cases from spiking to a level that could overwhelm the healthcare system.

People over 65 and those with underlying medical conditions have been advised to shelter at home, but health officials have stressed that it will take a combined effort from everyone to slow the spread of the virus.

“We are asking every single American, no matter what your generation from Z to X and millennials in between to really ensure that you are following these guidelines,” said Dr. Deborah Birx with the U.S. coronavirus task force during a press briefing at the White House. “We hear every night of people who are not in work moving that time into bars and other areas of large gatherings. If we continue with that process, we will fail at containing this virus. Every single generation has a role to play.”

This isn’t your parents’ antique shop anymore. Look what’s moving to J Street

in Health

The old two-story Graham-Rice Furniture building at 1511 J St., home to the Antique Emporium for two decades but sitting empty since December 2015, has been whipped into shape to now help people get and stay fit.

Its new tenant is the Tru-Fitness personal training studio, which will have a soft opening within a couple of weeks and a grand opening April 4, owner/trainer Jake Keidel said Wednesday.

Keidel, 31, grew up in Ceres, has been a personal trainer for 10 years and opened Tru-Fitness in 2014. He’s had much smaller locations in Modesto and Turlock — just 1,200 square feet when he first started — and right now operates what he calls his boutique training studio in a space in the Shops at Lincoln School shopping center on H Street.

Success is ‘just being welcomed by the community’ for new Turlock-bound marijuana dispensary

in business

TURLOCK, Calif. — In a town that previously banned marijuana, success won't necessarily be measured by dollars and cents. For some dispensaries, it might be more about turning heads for the right reasons than turning a profit.

At least two of Turlock's first-ever marijuana dispensaries aren't far from breaking ground. There are even plans for some shops to open up this year.
