Hank’s Quality Flooring Looking To Relocate
Hank Marler, owner of Hank’s Quality Flooring, would ideally like to expand his offerings beyond carpeting and flooring, and believes moving to a larger space would enable him to do so. According to The Post Star, Marler “is in the process of buying the former ABC Restaurant Equipment and Supply building at 28 Elm Street” in Downtown Glens Falls. Hank’s is currently located at 730 Upper Glen Street near Wendy’s.
The move has yet to be finalized, but Marler would like his location change to happen in January or February when business is slower.

The Lotus Group of Companies already has a number of different ventures operating on River Street in Warrensburg, and its owner, Ash Anand, has his sights set on more. According to The Post Star, Anand recently purchased three additional buildings on River Street, including the Grist Mill restaurant, for approximately $375,000.
Anand plans to upgrade the restaurant and keep it open year-round. As for the other two buildings, one will become Bark Avenue, a dog grooming salon that’s set to be open by the end of the month. The other will be a 20-barrel brewery, which Anand would ideally like to open within the next year.
