A new sign is out on Washington Street in Marquette.
Northern Hydroponics has opened up in the former Earl's Carpet Store location, at 401 West Washington.
The hydroponic gardening and indoor growing business originally opened in Marquette Township in 2012, founded by Ryan Hammack and Stosh Wasik, who saw their business niche open up to serve hydroponic gardeners after both were pursuing degrees at Northern Michigan University. Hammack studied environmental sustainability and Wasik studied finance, putting their talents together on the business venture, which has grown--no pun intended--successfully over the last few years.
They celebrated their new opening with a grand opening on April 20, attended by Senor's Taco Truck offering up free tacos, and accompanied by sales, a raffle, free samples and weeklong discounts. Northern Hydroponics made the move official in February and worked at getting the inside of the shop, more than twice the size of their previous location, all set for customers this spring.
Northern Hydroponics is open Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and on Sundays from noon to 4 p.m.
