Cedar Mill Business News for April
Same paint, new name, save now!Three years ago, Valspar Corporation bought the world-wide exclusive rights for the Devine Color brand, except in Oregon and Washington, where Miller Paint retained the rights. Until that time, all the Devine Color paint products in the US were either manufactured by Miller or manufactured by licensee using our formula. Now Valspar has purchased the rights to use the name in Oregon and Washington, but they will use a different formulation. Miller Paint will now sell their paint with a new name—Evolution. Until May 22, all Devine Color paint remaining at the Miller Cedar Mill store, on Murray just north of Cornell, will be 40% off. After that, the former Devine Color paints will be relabeled with the new Evolution brand. All the original colors developed for the old line will be available but with new names. Our store employees will be glad to help you find exactly what you need. Bales adds Wellness Center
Barry Miller, who works for Bales’ parent company, Signature Northwest, has been working with Kirstin Lucido of the Market Center division of United Grocers, to bring it all together. They have added mid-aisle openings to make the area easy to get to, and a refrigerated case for vitamins, probiotics and other products that must be kept cold. New products include naturopathic and homeopathic formulas, an expanded selection of natural cleaning products, more herbal products, and more natural and organic body care items. “Our focus is on natural, and as much organic as possible,” says Miller. “We’ve been listening to our customers and we’re trying to add the right mix of products so they can find what they need.” “Our first focus was on improving the perimeter of the store—the deli, produce, meat and frozen food areas. We have improved our produce offering to include more organics, also the mix of the bulk foods has been adjusted to our customer’s needs. Now we’re getting to work on the center aisles,” says Miller. “ Bales Thriftway Cedar Mill is open daily from 5 am-11 pm.

Virtue of the Month: Cleanliness
“Cleanliness is treating our bodies with respect and care by keeping ourselves clean, fresh and healthy, eating pure foods and breathing fresh air. We strive to keep our spirits clean and our minds clear. We rid ourselves of habits that do not serve our dignity. We think and speak in ways that honor others and ourselves. Cleaning up our mistakes gives us a fresh start. When we forgive, we cleanse our hearts of negativity. We do our part to care for the earth…” The Practice of Cleanliness: I keep myself fresh and clean. I put only healthful things in my body. I clean myself of harmful habits. I am willing and able to clear up my mistakes. I forgive others and I forgive myself. I am a responsible steward of the earth. I keep my environment clean and beautiful. Affirmation: I am thankful for the gift of cleanliness. It frees my spirit. Brought to you by Delaram Adyani at Virtues Connection Portland, Oregon virtuesconnectionportland.com.

Sunset Tire Factory shares the lot, and owner Bud Holden says that the whole parking lot was full of equipment on the day of the shoot. “They put a new sign out front, and replaced all the recognizable beer signs inside. They even paid us a little for the inconvenience. I have a new appreciation for the cost of making these shows!” The owners have been busy remodeling the kitchen, and have just finished the job, so they're back to their full menu. Irene Pavlatos said, "We're replacing the floor, repairing the walls, painting, updating the shelving, DEEP cleaning, and making it generally more efficient. We will be utilizing a temporary menu during the upgrade. We appreciate your patience and patronage!" NEWS HOME |
