PLATTSBURGH — Yipes! Plattsburgh is now owned by its former business manager.

Owner Jack Helfgott said he acquired the business last July. He was hired as the business manager near the end of 2008.

It was previously owned by the owners of the Williston location. When they talked about selling the place, he discussed it with his fiancée (now wife) and former North Country Small Business Development Center Director Rick Leibowitz.
