Local business is a quarter century old

A local business Vested Interest reaches a quarter century on Thursday.

Co-owner Jennifer McNutt Bywater says there will be a special celebration at their location in Callander.

She says they started as a street vendor and have evolved since then.

It wasn’t long ago that their business was damaged by fire.

She says they didn’t give much thought to giving up.

She says there wasn’t too much time to wallow in the impact of the fire and decided to dust themselves off, pull up their boots and move on.

Co-owner Brent Bywater says many businesses bow out after business stresses but he says that’s not a conversation they ever had.
