Jack attributes the success of his business to, “the good people of Kane. We’ve done well and they’ve made it that way. Some of our customers have been coming back for decades; they’ve been great!”
This has been a family affair, Jack’s wife, Carol worked with him at the store until health problems made that difficult. Their children, Pam Bell Anderson also of Kane and Jack Jr., grew up working at the store. While in college, Pam was there to help in the spring.
