At America Lube on 2945 S. Third St. in Ironton running a good business and raising flowers both happen to be high on the pleasure list of owner and operator Matt Burcham.

This combination recently won him the “Business of the Month” award from Ironton In Bloom. “It’s neat, it’s clean and the flowers are delightful,” Jan Wolfe, IIB business committee member, said.

Burcham, who has owned America Lube for the past 11 years, said he decided to combine the two interests for the first time this year.

“Business is good, he said,” “I think it has picked up since we added the flowers.” To nominate a business of the month, call Wolfe at 740-532-2954 or send the name and address to irontoninbloom@gmail.com.
