Holly Marrinson Opens Maple Ridge Animal Hospital Beside Doug's State Farm Office After Two Decades in Canton
Woodstock, United States - September 5, 2026 / Doug Marrinson - State Farm Insurance Agent /
CANTON, Ga. - September 3, 2026 - After nearly two decades of building their family and careers in the Canton area, Doug and Holly Marrinson now operate their respective businesses side-by-side on the same property.
Doug Marrinson - State Farm Agent and Maple Ridge Animal Hospital share a three-acre property in Canton, bringing together two local businesses with deep personal ties to the community where the Marrinsons have raised their four children.
Doug and Holly married in 2006 and purchased their first Canton home in 2007. Their children have attended local schools, participated in area sports and grown up across the Canton, Woodstock and Hickory Flat community.
"We didn't simply choose this community to build our businesses," Doug said. "We built our businesses here because this is where we built our life."
Doug opened his State Farm agency on January 1, 2010. After initially operating in Lawrenceville and later Roswell, he began relocating the agency to Canton in 2017. The agency operates from a 1962 house on three acres - a setting Doug had envisioned as an alternative to a traditional commercial office. The property was rezoned for commercial use before becoming home to the agency.
Years later, that same property provided an opportunity for Holly to pursue a longtime professional goal. Holly had practiced veterinary medicine in the local community for about two decades, developing advanced surgical skills and relationships with local families. In 2025, she opened Maple Ridge Animal Hospital in a newly constructed facility next door to Doug's office.
The hospital's name reflects the couple's shared history. Maple was Holly's first dog in veterinary school and the first pet she and Doug shared together. Ridge comes from Ridge Road, where the couple purchased their first home in Canton.
For the Marrinsons, having the businesses on the same property reflects the relationship-based nature of both professions. Doug assists customers with their insurance needs through State Farm, while Holly cares for animals that are important members of local families. The location also keeps both businesses connected to the community where the Marrinsons live their daily lives - ties that include local schools, youth sports, church, community events and area businesses.
The neighboring businesses represent the result of a journey that began when Doug and Holly first made Canton home in 2007. For the Marrinsons, the shared property is less about bringing two businesses together than about continuing to build in the community where their family first put down roots.
