They keep us cool with new systems for our entire building!

We're a true small business. A real mom-and-pop shop.

When we opened our doors in 2014, it was just us and one employee with a dream, a lot of hard work, and a commitment to serve our community well. Today our team has grown to 9 incredible employees, and we're proud to serve hundreds of customers across the greater Franklin County area.

What makes a small business different?

Your support doesn't disappear into a corporate office or go to outside investors. It stays right here.

It helps support local families.
It helps pay local employees.
It helps sponsor local events and charities.

We live here too. We shop in the same stores, attend the same churches, support the same schools, and care deeply about this community because it's our home.

Every time you choose to support a small business, you are helping real people build real lives in the place we all share.

And that matters more than ever ❤️

With gratitude,
Marty & Tracy Alferman
