Fikes Fixed It - Apartment Scenting
We have been providing scenting services for Ovation Apartments in Hopkins for almost a year, and we just recently installed a new air deodorizer for their pet wash area. As luck would have it, a regional manager for a separate property management group was there and really enjoyed the scent. Now we are working with this regional manager to get our scenting services into more of their properties!
Â
It's always a treat when someone sees or smells our services out in the wild, and we look forward to working with more apartments and multi-family communities!

Father's Day Spotlight - Sipe Brother's
Sipe Bros is an auto repair shop and gas station located in Osseo that is celebrating 100 years of serving their local community! Originally known as Osseo Oil Company, Pete Sipe bought the business from his father, who had purchased it from Pete's grandfather.
Â
Pete took mechanics while he was in school and worked as a mechanic at Sipe's for his father. He didn't anticipate owning his own business, but as 1 of 6 children, he was the only one interested in taking over the family business. Pete's family was very supportive of him being a working dad. His wife was and is still the bookkeeper, and his son, Rob, now owns the business!
Â
Pete is now retired and living up north where he enjoys nature and side-by-siding. For Father's Day, Pete is planning to come back home to spend time with his children and other loved ones.
Â
Sipe Bros has been partnered with Fikes of Minnesota for over 30 years! Pete says he chose Fikes because "Fikes is the best," and because he loves supporting fellow family-owned businesses.
Â
Thank you, Pete, for your loyalty and many years of mutual partnership!
