Platinum moves to Ellendale
Salon owner McCarthy enjoys more traffic at new location
By Jolene Guzman
The Itemizer-Observer
DALLAS — The little red
building on East Ellendale
coming into Dallas had been
a meat market and a tempo-
rary political party head-
quarters in recent years.
Now, Platinum Spa and
Salon owner Debbie Mc-
Carthy has transformed the
small building into a cozy
salon, moving her business
from Court Street down-
town.
“I like the road traffic bet-
ter,” she said. “It’s a lot
busier than downtown.”
She said almost daily
since she opened the new
location, someone has
stopped in to check out the
new business.
McCarthy said the size is
more suitable for her and
the three other stylists who
work at Platinum.
“Even though the other
building was beautiful, this
is more comfortable,” she
said.
McCarthy opened Plat-
inum — named for the hair
color many of her clients re-
quest as summer nears —
just shy of a year ago. Then a
stylist working at Tease
Salon in Monmouth, Mc-
Carthy was ready go out on
her own.
“It has always been my
dream,” McCarthy said.
When the owner of Envy
Spa Salon decided to close
the Court Street salon, Mc-

New vendor to feature Philly cheesesteak;

Debbie McCarthy is happy to be in a new location on East
Ellendale Avenue. The Platinum Salon owner moved from
a downtown location and enjoys heavier traffic already.
Carthy saw a perfect op-
portunity to purchase all
the equipment she needed
and reopen in the same
spot.
“I wish I would have done
it sooner,” she said. “It’s been
a great career move.”
She added the change in
locations hasn’t affected her
clients — they just simply
followed her out to East El-
lendale.
Platinum offers haircuts,
color and perms, eyelash ex-
tensions and waxing, and is
open Monday through Sat-
urday.

“I love doing colors,” she

DALLAS — A new season of Dallas’ Polk
County Bounty Market will kick off Thurs-
day with all the familiar faces and few new
vendors joining the weekly fun.
Dallas’ market will launch its sixth sea-
son on the lawn near the Academy Build-
ing, 182 SW Academy St., Dallas, and will
be open 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
In the midst of final preparations last
week, market manager Bonnie Dreier said
she’s eager to see the market gang and
shoppers reunited for another season.
“I’m mostly excited just to see us contin-
ue to grow, the support we get,” Dreier said.
“I’m excited to see the weekly customers.”
New to the market this year will be food
vendor The Boondocks from Falls City,
serving burgers, Philly cheesesteak sand-
wiches and salads; new produce vendor
Oneric from Dallas; and even a vendor sell-
ing homeopathic remedies. Dallas’ Oak
Villa Farm will also be returning for the sea-
son after an absence.
Market regulars Bermudez Family Farm,
Good and Bready, El Pique and many more
will be season-long vendors. Family Build-
ing Blocks and Monkey’s with Tools will
host children’s activities, and Cash & Com-
pany will provide live entertainment the
first and third Thursdays of the month.
Dreier said Thursday’s market will fea-
ture something typically not seen until
weeks into the season: berries. Unseason-
ably warm and sunny weather has early
summer fruits and vegetables coming in
sooner this year.
A new season
What: Dallas Polk County Bounty Mar-
ket.
When: Thursdays 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Where: The lawn next to the Academy
Building, 182 SW Academy St.
Of note: Vendors can still apply to join
the market and sponsors are still being
sought.
For more information:
bonnie@bountymarket.org. For updates
on the market’s weekly vendors and
events, go to www.facebook.com
/bountymarket.
“We will start with berries and vegetables
that we don’t see until week three, four, five
or even six,” Dreier said. “We will have
strawberries. It’s exciting.”
Also, thanks to Liberty Concrete, which
donated the labor and materials, a perma-
nent access ramp was installed at the mar-
ket site just in time for the new season.
Dallas’ market will not be holding extend-
ed hours one week each month, something
tested last season. Dreier said while there
were about a dozen loyal later shoppers last
season, a noticeable drop in sales after 4
p.m. didn’t justify continuing the later hours.
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Pro-
gram (SNAP) cards, as well as both debit
and credit cards will be accepted at the
market. Debit and credit cards can be used
at the market information booth in ex-
change for tokens, which may be used in
Dallas or at its sister market in Monmouth
on Tuesdays.
