According to the Small Business Administration, about two-thirds of businesses with employees survive their first 2 years and only half survive their first 5 years. That is why two Ferndale businesses are proudly celebrating milestone anniversaries.
Outlaws Saloon at 2023 Main Street is marking their 5 year anniversary. According to Owner Jamie Ford, she feels lucky. A notable achievement for Ford is that all her employees have been with Outlaws Saloon since they opened. Ford says no specific celebration is planned. But this is a good time to stop in and congratulate Ford and her staff.
Pete’s Auto Repair at 6209 Portal Way is celebrating their 25th anniversary. An open house is planned at their shop from 10am to 3pm today. Food and prize drawings will be available throughout the day. Owner Pete Harksell, Jr. said he is excited to see their customers and neighbors join them in celebrating.
