Bypass not all bubbles and bows for groomer

Residents of Central Texas are anxiously awaiting the opening of the Highway 190 bypass, none more so than Bubbles and Bows owner Lisa Barger who saw a decline in business of more than 50 percent. “For the past two years my business has dwindled because of the confusion of the highway,” said Barger. “The highway used to run right in front of the shop, now it winds its way away from us and the entrance to our street is confusing. The loyalty of a few of my customers has allowed me to stay in business but we have had to cut staffing because of the decline.”
