A business that began in a storage unit has purchased and is renovating a brick-and-mortar location in Pullman.
Palouse Floors and Carpet Cleaning has acquired a former gas station at 640 S. Grand Ave. that it has rented for about two years, said business manager Sean Dinius.
The business was founded about four years ago by the husband-and-wife team of Dan and Cassi Fitzgerald. He is a pastor at Living Faith Fellowship in Pullman.
