After more than THREE DECADES, this moment feels both bittersweet and also deeply joyful. …💚🩵💙
In June 1994, Mark Barron opened the doors of Blue Spruce Cleaners with a simple vision: to provide Jackson Hole residents and guests with premium laundering and dry cleaning, delivered with care. After graduation from Montana State University in 2005, Mary Barron Gieck joined her dad, and together this father-daughter team guided Blue Spruce through seasons of growth and change.
Over these last 32 years, we have been incredibly blessed by an extraordinary staff whose commitment makes excellence possible every day. By a community that has supported our family in ways we will never forget, and by the many friends we have gained along the trail. Blue Spruce has been more than a ‘cleaners’ to us. It has been a part of our family’s story.
Today, Mark and Mary are passing the reins to longtime friends and fellow residents of Jackson, Joe and Kim Paulson. There is comfort in knowing Blue Spruce will continue under the care of people who understand this community and share the same dedication to quality and service. Alongside the talented, professional team, Joe and Kim will carry forward the standards you have come to trust - exceptional laundering, GreeEarth cleaning, and crisp, flawless pressing.
We are excited for this next chapter, and are cheering wholeheartedly for Joe, Kim and the Blue Spruce team as they step into their new chapter 💚🩵💙
