TIDE DRY CLEANERS: 98th and Quaker

As people watch the newer part of Lubbock stretch southwest, this is just one of the businesses trying to meet demands on a side of town where people always seem to be on the go. This store is the first of it's kind in the Lone star state and offers a lot of services but the one that General Manager, Tom Rask, says has people coming to check it out is the 24-hour pick up kiosk.

"We have the newest innovations out there.. With this thing, you can come after hours and pick up. I don't care if you come at 3 a.m. to get your clothes. It is so interesting that I have people who come by here to use this even when we're open. They're like, 'I don't care if y'all are open.. I want to use the kiosk." he says laughing.

Rask says he believes Tide is a household name known for quality products and they're providing that in dry cleaning services now.

On Saturday Tide Dry Cleaners, located at 4511 98th St, will host a public grand opening event from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Every person will get two free items dry cleaned visit their Facebook page for more info: https://www.facebook.com/LubbockTDC/?fref=ts

DEFINE BODY AND MIND: 82nd and Quaker

A fitness boutique business is celebrating their grand opening in Lubbock and one woman, who has become a first-time business owner, thinks the city of Lubbock is the perfect place to begin such a risky adventure.

Define Body and Mind began in Houston, with their most recent opening just a week ago in Dubai. 

Laura Neinast had a career in the oil and gas industry, but as that economy started to decline she saw how much these fitness programs changed her life in Midland, Texas and she decided to open on in Lubbock.

According to Neinast she has lost 50 pounds over two years, and hopes to make the city of Lubbock healthier.  "I've conquered over all of the nervous parts. Finding a place to lease, buying the bikes and all that stuff.  I've had so many people telling me how excited they are that Define is in Lubbock but the biggest thing for me is changing people's lives. It made a change in my life, I want to do that for the people of Lubbock."

Define is located at 4413 82nd Street, and on Saturday the instructors are offering a free Rev class with music and intense workouts on their static bicycles. For info go to: https://www.facebook.com/definelubbock/?fref=ts
