Big congrats to Jeff and Rusty Damon!

According to the KJ, they have been given the "Business Person Of The Year" award by the Mid-Maine Chamber of Commerce!

Jeff Damon says, "We're very humbled by the award."  He went on to say they were more than a "business person".  They are a "business family".

As a true family business, there are nine family members involved in the seven stores.  The stores, spread across Maine, employ more than 100 people.

Brothers Jeff and Rusty, along with late father James, opened their first store in Skowhegan in 1983.  The family now owns two stores in Augusta, two in Skowhegan, one in Bangor and two in Waterville.
