Tig & Cooneys was the small business spotlighted at the December 19 Lackawanna County Commissioners Meeting. Lisa Malsberger started this on-line business in 2013 selling dog gifts and other related accessories. As the market for these items became saturated, she moved into creating custom maps that featured personalized memories, sentiments or landmarks. The map gifts are timeless and symbolize a piece of history in a person’s life. Tig & Cooneys also has items available at Lavish, The Waverly General Store and on Esty.
