The Country Junction Ribbon Cutting

It’s always been in my blood to own my own business.

Growing up, my dad made homes beautiful with his own remodeling business, while my mom tinkered with crafts and even ran her own store for several years, when they finally combined the two and opened The Country Junction in 1993. My dad and brother built custom country furniture while my mom ran the retail side of the business selling pieces from a store front as well as other country home decor. I started helping in about the 5th year, when our youngest started kindergarten.
