Bill and Becky Byron of Onalaska will open their new FETCH! Pet Care of the Coulee Region business on Tuesday.

They recently bought their franchise, which covers the counties of

La Crosse, Monroe, Trempealeau and Vernon in Wisconsin, and Winona and Houston in Minnesota.

The Byrons are hiring pet sitters throughout that region. "They're all trained, insured and bonded," Bill Byron said.

FETCH! franchisees provide such services as daily small pet visits, private dog walks, in-home overnight sitting, day and evening care, private boarding, hotel pet sitting, pet taxi services, yard pet waste cleanup and medication for pets.

The local telephone number is 1-866-231-0753. For more

information, visit www.FetchPetCare.com.

Karma will hold its grand opening Tuesday. The new store is near center court, across from Macy's, in Valley View Mall.

Karma sells men's urban wear, such as printed T-shirts and shorts, and is open during regular mall hours. Its telephone number is (608) 782-5179.

Bahl & Sons Piano has moved from a storefront at 560 Commerce St. along Hwy. 16, next to Ace Hardware in West Salem, back to its original location at Jim Bahl's home near West Salem.

He and his son, Jim Jr., own the business and had moved it to Commerce Street in 2007.

"We want to try to maintain value for customers and keep our overhead low," Bahl said of moving the business back to the shop as of July 1. "I've upgraded the shop," he said.

The business tunes, refinishes, restores and repairs upright and grand pianos. It's also known for restoring and repairing player pianos. Bahl's telephone number is (608) 786-2070.

Bahl Moving Inc. opened July 1 and serves the La Crosse area, Jim Bahl said.

He and his son, Jim Jr., decided to make it a separate business after providing moving services for years as part of their Bahl & Sons Piano firm. They've been moving pianos and large household items, such as gun safes and big-screen TV sets.

"It seemed like there might have been some confusion about a piano company moving things like a gun safe," Bahl said of establishing a separate business for moving work.

Bahl Moving's telephone number is (608) 769-2988.
