Just Fur You: Pet groomer to unleash new shop in downtown Harrisburg

The future location of Unleashed Grooming Company.

This year is looking pretty “ruff” for downtown Harrisburg.

In February, Unleashed Grooming Company plans to open in a storefront near N. 3rd and Market streets.

“I’m so excited to have the opportunity to bring dog and cat grooming services to the residents and employees of the downtown Harrisburg area,” said owner Alexandra Lauch, who has 11 years of experience as a groomer.

Specifically, the new business will open by the end of the month at 3 N. 3rd St., in the Shops at Strawberry Square.

“Adding a pet groomer to the services that are already offered in the downtown makes this area even more attractive to the residents in this and surrounding neighborhoods,” said Brad Jones, president and CEO of Harristown Enterprises, which owns Strawberry Square. “Many of the residential tenants in our pet-friendly rental units have dogs and cats, so this makes living downtown even more appealing.”

In addition to grooming services, Lauch will offer related pet care items for sale.

“With a more social environment, dogs will be excited to come to Unleashed Grooming Company, and owners will be happy knowing they are receiving quality care and services,” Lauch said. “I can’t wait to meet all the pets of downtown!”

Recently, several other businesses have opened or soon will open in the neighborhood, including Tamara Boutique and a new H&R Block tax preparation office. Meanwhile, Harrisburg University is finishing construction of its new academic building a block away.
