He has put in lots of late nights, weekends, and all-nighters in the last three months. He has done 90 percent of the work in this building to get us up and rolling. “He has been wanting to do this for me for a long time and here we are. “I think this has been more of his vision for me and my business than it has mine,” she said. She thanks Andrew for making her dream come true and his willingness to put in the work.

She started renting two rooms at Hotel Custer and waited to see where she and husband Andrew would go from there. When she graduated massage school in 2010 and opened her business, Touch of Grace Massage Therapy and Spa, in Arnold, she hoped to build in the years to come.

It just keeps going and going!” said April.įrom the moment April first wanted to do massage, her dream was to work in a full spa setting. “When we purchased this building and took our family in to show them, they said, ‘It feels like a palace. The cool old elevator will still be there for the aesthetics of the building. There is also a large break room, separate storage room and back entry room. There is also a mezzanine that will be storage above the offices and a yoga health room. The building has a full basement that was cleaned out and is at this time being used for storage. There is a spacious waiting room, front foyer/entry, PT gym, three treatment rooms, two office spaces, a massage room, wellness room, and sauna and spa room. Six rooms were built in the large open space and the three existing office spaces were left untouched. With lots of all-nighter’s and help from friends and family, we set the date for our open house,” said April. Just emptying the space so we could get it ready was a lot. “There was a lot more left in the building than the eye could see when we walked through it. Cleaning out the building began the weekend they took ownership, and it’s been a big undertaking. Plans were drawn up and product was ordered. With that, the open space was split off into the number of rooms needed.

Josh Magill said he would give it a try and bring physical therapy to town. After signing the purchase agreement, April talked to a few people about coming on board to help share and fill the space for services she felt Arnold could benefit from. April’s vision for the building was that it would have an open floor plan to work with.

On Saturday, March 26, the question was answered, as new owners April and Andrew Tickle held an open house, unveiling their new floor plan for the building that will house Touch of Grace Massage Therapy and Spa and a new business, Oakbrook Physical Therapy, owned by Josh and Molly Magill. First published in the Thursday, March 31 edition of The Arnold Sentinel: What would happen to the large Sandhills Motors showroom after the business moved to Broken Bow?
