Tim and Becky Dennis have owned the business for the past 24 years and say that the anniversary snuck up on them, as they didn’t realize the business was approaching 150 years until it was pointed out to them.“It’s interesting to think that the business you’re a part of has been ongoing for 150 years,” Tim said.They will hold a community lunch open to all to mark the occasion Aug. 13.

Tim and Becky Dennis bought it in 1993.Tim had worked for the business for 10 years prior to the purchase and Becky had worked there for eight years prior.A community worth investing inThey say that having worked in a community they enjoyed factored into the investment decision.“After working with Mr. Kinder for a few years, we thought this is a community we wanted to stay in and be a part of,” Tim said. “We thought it would be something worth investing in.”In 200...
