The ownership of Wintergreen Northern Wear in Ely has switched hands.

Susan and Paul Schurke, who have owned the clothing outfitter since its inception in 1987, have passed it onto Curt and Becky Stacey.

The Staceys said they have no plans to change Wintergreen’s operations.

“Production will stay right here on Sheridan Street while we expand such areas as Internet marketing and group sales,” Curt Stacey said in an e-mail.

Susan Schurke will continue in a part-time role as head product designer and assistant in production of the catalog.

“No major staffing changes are planned,” Becky Stacey said of Wintergreen’s more than 25 employees. “But we do hope to add new staff as production grows.”

The Staceys, with two daughters, have recently moved from Michigan.
