The lodgings of the defunct Spa 151 on the River at 151 S. Spanish St. will soon be occupied by eDen Salon & Boutique, which currently resides at 97 N. Kings Highway.
Kristina Schumer was issued a business license recently to open her business at the new location. According to the paperwork at city hall, she expects to be open there by May 1.
For those of you who may have forgotten, Spa 151 closed in January during a messy divorce case between the owners Ashli Rowland and Scott Rowland. When the spa closed, it left employees grumbling that they had not been paid and irate customers holding apparently worthless gift cards and certificates.
Ashli Rowland promised to refund the outstanding gift cards and certificates, but she has been unavailable since that interview. I reached Scott Rowland a few minutes ago, but as soon as I identified myself, he hung up on me — again.
Customers have responded to Rowland’s lack of follow-up by filing consumer complaints with the Missouri Attorney General’s office. I’ve got a call in to the AG’s press secretary, John Fougere, but I counted 330 complaints on the AG’s Web site, almost triple the number of one month ago.
Schumer has no apparent connection to Spa 151. I’m waiting to hear from her as well.
Meanwhile, the divorce is moving forward, with a trial setting scheduled for June 10 before Judge Benjamin Lewis.
And the looming divorce and investigation by the Missouri Attorney General aren’t the only legal issues dogging the Rowlands. They were partners in a statewide chain of Check Please locations prior to last October, and in February they were sued by The Great Eight LLC, a land company owned by the Buchheit family, for failure to pay rent on a Perryville, Mo., building leased by Check Please. Eric Bohl, attorney for the the Great Eight LLC, said the lawsuit alleges that the Rowlands stopped paying rent after closing the Check Please branch.
