'Puppygram' store lease at Tippecanoe Mall terminated after lawsuit

LAFAYETTE, IN — Plans for a puppy store in the Tippecanoe Mall have been abandoned for now after the board president of the Humane Society for Greater Lafayette challenged the legality of its opening in a lawsuit. Sharon Dull, a longtime local animal welfare advocate, said she found out in late October about the planned Puppygram store, an Indiana-based puppy delivery franchise with locations in Indianapolis, Clarksville and Detroit. In the lawsuit, Dull said the Tippecanoe Mall's zoning code — general business — does not allow the retail sale of animals or dog adoptions, which is permitted only in I-2 light industrial zoning. Dull said that after seeing the Tippecanoe Mall post to its website that Puppygram was scheduled to open on Nov. 15, she knew she needed to "act quickly," and the lawsuit was filed on Nov. 4. "It's a lot easier to close (puppy stores) before they open then after they open the doors," Dull said. "You would think any store owner would research the proper zoning allowances prior to signing a lease agreement." Dull said she was told Tuesday that Simon Property Group, owner of the Tippecanoe Mall, had terminated Puppygram's lease agreement, so a motion to

The Boone County Cake Co., owned by Stephanie Kim, became a local spot for sweets and treats in July 2023. Being the baker of the family, Stephanie loves decorating cakes. She surprised her mom with a three-tier birthday cake and had said, “I watched countless videos, bought all sorts of tools, and spent about two days making it. That cake gave me the bug, and it all started from there.” She continued to decorate and eventually her friends started ordering. The first item a friend bought was a vanilla drip cake.

Indiana House Democrats break Republican supermajority, discuss tax reform

(The Center Square) – After breaking a 14-years supermajority in the Indiana House on Election Day, Democrats want to tackle taxes and affordability. Democrats flipped 16 Indiana House seats in last week’s election, and now the 46-seat Democratic minority elected leaders have priorities for the new year. “My responsibility to the taxpayers is not only to listen to them, but to make life easier and more affordable for them,” said Rep. Cherrish Pryor, D-Indianapolis, who was reelected minority floor leader. Democratic leadership wants to reform property taxes and eliminate the sales tax on utility bills for private individuals, among other affordability issues. “Data centers don’t pay sales tax on utility bills while regular taxpayers are having to pay that sales tax,” Pryor told The Center Square. “The legislature has given tax breaks to businesses, but we have not helped homeowners, renters, and local governments – that includes schools.” “I don’t believe many residents saw a significant enough break that they felt we did anything for their property taxes,” Rep. Phil GiaQuinta, D-Ft. Wayne, who was reelected minority leader, told The Center Square. The coming year will require legislature to pass a budget, which happens every other year. “Property taxes are
