A new business will file its way
into Rolla by this fall.
Cody Tran and his wife, Hien, are
preparing to offer a nail salon service
at the former curling rink on the west
side of town near the Rolla Dairy
Queen.
“We hope to be open in August or
September,” said Cody, who’s been
in the nail salon business for more
than two decades. “That’s the plan.”
The couple is awaiting equipment
which Cody said was expected to ar—
rive by the end of July. The duo cur—
rently work in Devils Lake at a nail
salon owned by Cody’s brother,
which is located inside the Walmart
store.
Cody said that business has a
the used garment store Sue and Marv
ran before converting to new fumi-
ture sales, there wasn’t a connection
with that type of retail.
“1 have retail in my blood,” Dryer
said. “When they converted to fumi-
ture, I jumped at the chance. Plus
mom was ready to step back a bit
after working six days a week for the
past 32 years.”
Dryer attended North Dakota
State University and after earning a
degree in accounting, she worked for
the Payless Shoe Store chain in Min—
nesota, eventually managing two
stores. The company promoted her
again but it came with a move to
Alaska, where she oversaw anywhere
from five to eight stores for around
two years.
While she enjoyed the challenge,
Dryer said Alaska was just too far
from home; She moved back to R0-
lette County in 2013 and worked as
an accountant for a Rolette—based
business before returning to Fargo as
an employee of Discovery Benefits,
which put her in charge of payroll for
up to 4,000 people.
After five years of that came the
firm,AEZS.
“We don’t know the full scope
yet,” McDougall said in regard to the
impact it will have on the city’s
budget. “There are no plans for a
mass correction. We will likely just
add three years on to the end (of the
special assessments)”
According to the auditor, a full ac-
counting of the missed payments will
be known by Tuesday, August 10.
The three years of missed pay—
ments did lead to an increase in the
city’s contingency fund, a kind of
“rainy day” account. Still, Mc—
Dougall said there was no indication
the project’s special assessments
weren’t being paid, not even from the
bonding company in Charge of col—
lecting the payments.
“There was no paperwork that I
could find,” McDougall said. “(The
bonding company) failed to raise a
red flag as well.”
Throughout the first six months
on the job, McDougall has also un-
covered “several accounts receiv—
able” which were not kept up to date
or in some cases, even billed out. She
said the city’s current computer sys-
tem does not track debt, which led
her to start a Quickbooks program to
address that issue.
McDougall said the city council’s
administration committee, which
covers the auditor’s office, is set to
meet and discuss potential changes

number of clients from Rolette
County and it was a consistent en—
couragement from those customers
that solidified the choice to branch
out on their own.
“We have a lot of clients (from
Rolette County) who wanted me to
open one up here,” Cody said, refer-
ring to Rolla. “So we’re going to give
it a go.”
The Rolla nail salon will offer
much the same services as the busi-
ness in Devils Lake, with similar art—

big decision to move home. Dryer
said she had a hankering to do so for
at least a half dozen years.
“In 2014, when I moved away
again I really didn’t want to,” Dryer
said. “I always felt a longing for
home and I loved the idea of having
my daughters around their grandpar-
ents. Now I love that my kids get to
see them everyday and I love that I
do, too.”
Dryer also enjoys the small-town
feel of simple trips to the grocery
store as well as the activities for the
kids and her ability to watch those
moments in person.
“They love the park and pool,
too,” Dryer said. “My heart just be-
longed here.”
Acclimating to the furniture busi-
ness wasn’t a big jump for Dryer. She
had been involved in store’s day—to—
day efforts remotely, doing the prod-
uct ordering and bookkeeping.
“Being in the store is a different
dynamic,” Dryer said. “I get a lot of
different questions, but it’s nice
knowing that mom is just a phone
call away.”
That, however, is another adjust—

going forward to make sure all the
current issues don’t occur in the fu—
ture. She added that Harmel’s assis-
tance during the past half year has
been invaluable. “I’m grateful for
that service,” she said.

Nail salon business will open in Rolla
ful flair.
Cody said the business will have
six pedicure chairs and six tables all
located in the newly-remodeled
building, which is owned by Paul and
Paula Munro.
To start, Cody said he and his wife
will be the sole employees, but he’s
hoping to add more soon after open-
ing. He said the demand for nail serv-
ices has stayed steady in Devils Lake
and he’s hoping that the same will be
true in Rolla.
'ment. For 30-plus years, Sue was a
fixture of Rolla’s business commu-
nity, first at The Clothing Connection
and then The Furniture Connection.
Dryer said it’s taking some time to
assure customers that even though
‘ she’s now in charge, Sue is nearby.
“I know Jessica was very happy
when someone finally asked for her
instead of me,” Sue recalled with a
smile.
Dryer said she’s really enjoying
the chance to work with customers
and is especially happy when they
find exactly what they want.
“I like when we sit down and look
at different styles and build a rela-
tionship,” Dryer said. “I like having
my team of employees around, too.
They’re a big part of our success.”
The challenge of a six-day work
week with two young daughters is
softened by Dryer’s parents. She said
her goals going forward include help-
ing her two girls get acclimated to
school and new friends as well as
running a successful business.
“I want to make sure all our cus-
tomers have a great experience,”
Dryer said.
