Exclusively Dogs KC Celebrates Grand Opening

Michelle Toczek, owner of new business Exclusively Dogs KC, may have a new store front, but she is certainly not new to the industry. Toczek’s parents bred and showed Shetland Sheepdogs, also known as Shelties, for many years.
     “My mother had a grooming shop also, and the last 20 years, I have been showing dogs at AKC shows,” Toczek said.
     After her employer of 30 years left the area, Toczek took the opportunity to open her own grooming salon.
     “As they say, when one door closes, another one opens. Every time I began to think about looking for another job, I kept coming back to the thought that it was time to open my own shop. This space came open close to home, and we have two new groomers who also live in the area, so everything just clicked,” Toczek said.
     “My philosophy is creating an environment that people trust, hiring the best groomers, and creating a great team.”
     Exclusively Dogs is located north of 1-70 in the shops just south of Price Chopper, 1060 NE McQuerry Rd, Ste. F, Grain Valley.
      For appointments, call 816-721-5486 or visit www.exclusivelydogskc.com.
