TAYLOR, Mich. – The shutdown caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has been tough on people who have been unable to work and tough on business owners. Julia Karapetian was temporarily laid off from her job in the cage at MGM Casino. She took all the money she saved and put it toward her dream that had been growing the last seven years. Her boutique is on Telegraph in Taylor and she said it is a much better way to showcase her unique styles than her occasional pop-up shops. Karapetian said she made more in her first week than she ever did at MGM.
