Chelsea Pusc, left, owner of Gunflint Mercantile, teamed up with Sam and Abby Hedstrom to buy the building which houses her store, Chuck’s Barber Shop and Country Financial Insurance. The sale was finalized on Monday, May 1. Next summer Sam and Abby will take over the space now used by Chuck Petek, who will retire after more than 50 years of cutting hair. Their tentative plans are to start a store and sell locally made art, and they are thinking of naming their store “Big Lake.” Petek and Virgil Lindquist co-owned the building, and both wish the new owners good fortune long into the future.
