A blessing was held on Thursday, Sept. 16, for a new Wetumpka business, River Rose, that’s set to open in early October on Company Street.

The business operated in Montgomery for 30 years with the name Rose of Sharon, until owner Sharon Wilson decided to rename and relocate the store. Wilson said the Lord put it on her heart to move the business to Wetumpka.
