This spring Ellen Gilfillen of Bluffton took an empty Arlington storefront and converted it into a salon and wellness center.
“We bought the building and did a complete remodeling of it,” she said.

Gilfillen, a licensed massage therapist, is a 1991 Bluffton High School graduate. She is also an RN and, most recently has worked as needed, as a floor nurse at Vancrest in Ada.
