As 2013 comes to a close, we look back on another year of living in this great city. We are so lucky to be able to look around us and see the best of what makes America great: small, independent businesses; a well-rounded and inclusive community; and a safe and comfortable place to live 365 days of the year.

Part of sharing in this great community is welcoming new businesses, and sometimes having to say goodbye to the ones that have helped build and shape our fair city. This year, we say goodbye to two unique businesses who’ve proudly served our community for many years.

After ten years on the corner of Hilton and Cambourne, Bob and Mary Lenaway have decided to close down Ferndale’s only true office supply store: Lenny’s Copy Center. A business that has served all of Ferndale’s copy and office needs since 2003, their unique approach of allowing customers to purchase office supplies in small quantities made business and professional services available to anyone.

Offering a variety of services, Lenny’s was the one-stop shop for custom screen printing (including t-shirts and other apparel), bulk printing, and various other office-related items. A true “mom and pop” shop, Lenny’s Copy Center was a unique and wonderful part of the Ferndale community for the past decade.

On their website, Bob and Mary state that they “run a family business committed to giving you a warm welcome, a variety of products, fair prices, and old-fashioned friendly service.” Anyone who had the pleasure of shopping at Lenny’s and interacting with Bob and Mary know that they exceeded that goal tenfold. Ferndale, and especially
the Ferndale Friends offices, will miss the exceptional service, unbeatable prices, and friendly atmosphere of Lenny’s Copy Center.

This year, we also say our goodbyes to one of Ferndale’s oldest and most revered businesses: Helena Salon. First opened by Helen Gruss in the 1940s, the salon went through several different incarnations and buildings before finally ending up in its final location situated between Woodward Heights and Nine Mile on Woodward.

One of Detroit’s oldest woman-owned businesses, the salon expanded when her daughter Mary Tsouris began to operate and promote her reflexology business from within the salon’s walls.

Always on the cutting edge of what was new and hip, Helena Salon served as “publicity central” for the inaugural year of the “Ferndale Classic Car and Truck Show” which eventually became known by its more modern moniker: The Woodward Dream Cruise. Helen told Ferndale Friends in a past feature that, “doing business for over 30-plus years in Ferndale, Helena Salon has serviced wonderful clients that have become life-long friends.” That extensive group of friends and clients, along with the entire community, will fondly remember Helena Salon and we thank them for the many years they helped keep Ferndale beautiful.
