She’s a Marine Corps veteran, a mom, a licensed massage therapist, and now a Greer business owner!

The Greater Greer Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting Thursday morning to celebrate the opening of The Muscle Veteran. Owner Olivia Booth’s mission is to give athletes and veterans the support they need to recover, stay strong, and maintain mobility. She offers sports, therapeutic, and post-surgical massage as well as cupping therapy and stretching.

Fun fact: The Muscle Veteran is located inside Bellamore, which is another woman-owned business in Greer.

Trivia Time: Presidents Day is now commonly observed as a federal holiday honoring all of America’s top elected leaders. However, the holiday’s original purpose was to celebrate George Washington’s birthday. While most people now call the holiday Presidents Day, Congress has never voted to officially change the name.

City of Greer offices are closed Monday, February 16 in observance of Presidents Day. We’ll resume normal operating hours on Tuesday.

City of Greer offices and the Convenience Center will be closed on Monday in observation of Presidents Day, but trash collection will follow the normal schedule next week.
