If you had 30 seconds to communicate to someone what you do, what would you say?
We’re a fine dining steak house with the number one goal of ensuring that we are giving the best guest experience possible by going above and beyond what the average restaurant will do. Our food is made from scratch to order. We also have the capability and the knowledge to create anything for a guest with special requests or needs. We train our servers to ensure we give the guests every possible comfort.

What is one thing that sets you apart from all others?
We’re locally and family owned but we still have, between the management staff, over 80 years of restaurant experience. We’re all from the community so we treat everybody as if they are coming into our home when they come to our place of business.

Who are you looking to connect with through your Chamber membership?
We’re looking to connect with people who are looking to experience a restaurant that does things the way it should be done and not the way things are conventionally done.

What is your #1 goal for 2010?
For 2010, our #1 business goal is to open for lunch by the end of this year.

A Chamber member since: May 19, 2010

If you had 30 seconds to communicate to someone what you do, what would you say?
We are a company that has been in business since 1933, manufacturing chemicals and servicing customers in the building maintenance industry. From schools to manufacturing plants, we specialize in maintenance and sanitation products and understand that there is no substitute for personal service.

What is one thing that sets you apart from all others?
Two things:  First, our people. We have a great staff here to serve our customers needs. And second, with our manufacturing facility and two chemists on staff, there is no problem we cannot solve
. 

Who are you looking to connect with through your Chamber membership?
I would like to connect with other business managers/owners. We all face challenges in our businesses… hopefully to share and learn to become better at what you do.

What is your #1 goal for 2010?
My goal for 2010 is to learn something new every day and make my company stronger. 2009 was a tough year for most companies and we were fortunate to come out in good shape.
