Acclaimed chef Angela McCrovitz has been wowing diners for years with her lobster rolls, shrimp and grits, Po’boys and other seafood fare at Captain’s House, 6004 Miller Ave. in Gary’s Miller Beach neighborhood. But now the nautically themed restaurant might hit it big, expanding across the Midwest and perhaps eventually the country.

“When we started looking at different franchising concepts, we knew we wanted something that would fit with our lifestyle, personalities, skills and interests — we found all of this with My Salon Suite,” franchisee Robert Gerick said. “We love that My Salon Suite allows us to operate our own business, have a flexible work-life balance and work directly with talented beauty professionals from our area. We’re looking forward to introducing the Highland community to the suite life.”

“We empower beauty professionals to become salon entrepreneurs with their own suites, while providing them with all of the resources they need to success,” Gerick said. “Plus, for our members’ clients, we offer an environment to escape from the stresses of the day in a quiet, private setting where they are treated to an upscale salon experience like no other.”
