A Norwegian company is moving into the old Langford Furniture building at the corner of Military and Bluecutt roads.

Chris Chain, a Columbus-based developer, confirmed this week that Loxy Inc. plans on locating one of its printing facilities inside the 6,000 square foot building, which has been empty since Langford Furniture closed last year after 50-plus years in business.

Loxy is based in Halden, Norway. According to the company’s website, it “provides the garment industry with safety and seam sealing solutions.”

It is unclear exactly what type of facility will be located at 2012 Military Road, but renovations are ongoing. Kenny Wiegel, city building official, told The Dispatch that crews are currently removing non-load bearing walls inside the building; creating office spaces; installing two restrooms; and installing a new heating and cooling system.

We were unable to speak with a Loxy representative in Norway. An opening date is unknown. Loxy has been in business for more than 40 years.

Over in Starkville, there is a new boutique.

Cobo’s Boutique opened on Cotton Mill Drive, beside Maroon & Co., on Saturday. The owners are Courtney and Bob Frisby — they combined their first names to come up with the boutique’s name.

The boutique caters to kids, preteens, juniors, misses and plus-size ladies. “From grandmas to daughters to college students, we’ve got something,” Courtney Frisby said. According to their website, they shop for merchandise in L.A., Atlanta, Dallas, and New York markets.

The business is open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday; from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday; and from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., Sunday.

The boutique employs six people.

There is a Cobo’s in Brandon, where the Frisbys live. They are both graduates of Mississippi State University.

Moving on.

There is a new place to order sweets in the Golden Triangle.

Sweet Dreamz Delivery began business in Columbus in late January. The owners are Nikeah Leech and Kelly Butler, both Columbus natives. (Full disclosure: Butler is a Dispatch employee.) If you order their products, they deliver them where you tell them to.

Sweet Dreamz specializes in gourmet cupcakes with flavors like Toffee Break, Turtle Doves, Cookie-N-Dreamz, Lemon Berry Pie and more. They also offer dipped treats (strawberries, Oreo cookies, pretzels, etc.) and fruit arrangements. The business recently partnered with Ranch House restaurant on Alabama Street, where diners can place orders with Sweet Dreamz and buy the treats.

Lastly, a Pew Research Center study released this month shows 4 percent of Mississippi’s construction workers are unauthorized immigrants.

The study is based on 2012 population data. Nationwide, unauthorized immigrants accounted for 14 percent of construction workers, according to the report. However, the number of unauthorized immigrants in construction or production jobs fell by about 475,000 between 2007 and 2012, according to the study.
