State says GR area spa sold gift cards knowing it may close

ADA TOWNSHIP, Mich. (WOOD) — A once-popular spa and salon in the Forest Hills area is being investigated by the Michigan Attorney General’s Office, with state officials saying it sold gift cards knowing it would close before they could be cashed in.

The Crown Jewel Spa and Salon on Spaulding Avenue SE north of Cascade Road closed right after Christmas following the rush for holiday gift cards.

“It’s one of the places you would buy a gift card for Christmas and expect (that in) January, February, they are going to be around to use it. Unfortunately, you can do everything right and still end up losing money,” Better Business Bureau Serving Western Michigan spokesman Troy Baker said Monday.

“They (The Crown Jewel) didn’t have any complaints, they’d been around for a long time, they were in a nice area of town,” Baker listed. “They were a reputable business.”
