A Personal Note from Steve Grohn, Owner
I moved to Woodbury in 1996 and raised my kids here. We know where all the baseball fields are and pretty much every square inch of the M Health Fairview Sports Center, which I still sometimes call Bielenberg Sports Center. My kids went through Woodbury Public Schools and New Life Academy. Woodbury is a great place to live, a great place to raise a family, and at AJ Alberts Plumbing we love our Woodbury customers.
