The holiday season and new year will be full of changes for The New Leaf in Chadron.<\/p>

\u201cWe always had a vision of a three-year, five-year and 10-year plan,\u201d said Angela Lollar, who owns the business with her husband, Phill. \u00a0<\/p>

The first three years after relocating from Brighton, Colorado, to purchase the business was the evaluation phase. When they bought the business it offered floral design, tanning, tuxedo rental, lawn care services, a greenhouse and a nursery.<\/p>

\u201cNow that we\u2019re into year five, we\u2019re making it our own,\u201d Angela said.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

They dropped the lawn care services and nursery and added a construction arm to the business, as Phill has a background in the industry. Work will begin soon on the next change \u2013 creating a separate entrance to the building and expanding the tanning salon upstairs.<\/p>

A vacancy created by the relocation of the hair salon has given The New Leaf the opportunity to implement the next phase. Phill and Angela will add three new tanning beds for a total of six. One bed will be capable of red-light therapy, and The New Leaf will also add a spray tanning booth. Phill\u2019s construction of a new entrance will allow The New Leaf customers to tan after hours with a keycard and touchscreen check-in services.<\/p>

The goal is to open the expanded services Jan. 9, 2023, on the Lollars\u2019 fifth anniversary of owning The New Leaf.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

The New Leaf will kick off the holiday season first, however. The business is part of the inaugural Holiday Passport Program from the Nebraska State Tourism office. The program encourages visits to 20 businesses across the state for holiday cheer and shopping and is modeled after the popular summer Passport Program.<\/p>

\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to death to be a part of this,\u201d Angela said. The program launched Nov. 19 and runs through Jan. 1. Passport books are available at The New Leaf or from the State Tourism office.<\/p>

Passport participants will receive a holiday souvenir token from The New Leaf, in addition to finding distinctive gift items. The New Leaf has unique men\u2019s gifts, customizable gifts, houseware and home d\u00e9cor and locally-made jewelry in stock for holiday shopping.<\/p>

Santa makes a stop at The New Leaf on Shop Small Saturday each year, and is scheduled to appear Nov. 26 from 9 a.m. \u2013 1 p.m. for photos.<\/p>

Nearly five years after making the move to Northwest Nebraska, the Lollars say it was the right decision.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s beyond our expectations. It\u2019s the best thing we\u2019ve ever done,\u201d Angela said.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
