We had a great run in Driver for many years and will always love this town!
Dad has decided to retire for the second time and spend more time with his wife and take it slow. You gotta give him credit for coming to work at 84 years old seven days a week. He always admired that about Red Parker for having a great work ethic! What a Driver Legend!
Driver will have a new sandwich shop opening soon called The Factory at the Authurs General Store location. They have been working very hard to get this going. We can’t wait to give it a try!
Driver is alive and well with the Knott Hole Station and of course Happy Hour Glass Works! Come out and support these amazing businesses!
Go to driverevents.com for all the happenings. Driver Days will be here before you know it!
We would like to sincerely thank everyone for your patronage for supporting our store through all those years!
