RAPID CITY, S.D. — Unique Auto Grooming is a vehicle detailing business in Rapid City that was purchased last Summer by Black Hills Services – that’s the vocational division of Black Hills Works. When Unique Auto Grooming’s original owner decided to retire after more than 30 years, Black Hills Services saw an opportunity to create more jobs for people with disabilities. Unique Auto Grooming has 12 employees, and of those 12, seven of them are Black Hills Works clients.
Tara Blasius, Vice President of Vocational Services for Black Hills Works, said, “The intent of purchasing it was to create jobs for people with disabilities. So we purchased it with that intent and we have just been super busy with getting it rolling, getting everybody trained.”
