Each month, the Clay County Business Development Authority board chooses a business of the month. In order to gain this recognition, a business must meet certain criteria. Examples of this include how much financial impact the business has on the county, how the business helps the county and its citizens, and the jobs it provides.
The following local businesses have been chosen for the past three months:
September: Wilson-Shamblin-Smith Funeral Home
We have seen many changes to our beloved funeral home over the past 80 years. What has not changed is the dedication the funeral home staff has for their county and beyond.
These days, B.J. Smith and his staff are completely focused on meeting the needs of the community during the sensitive time of bereavement. They offer grief support and prearrangement along with all other funerary services.
The funeral home is located at 154 Main Street in the town of Clay and can be contacted at 304-587-4244. For more information, visit www.carlwilsonfuneralhome.com.
October: Ramsey’s Dairy Bar
Who would have imagined the scent of burgers, hot dogs, and scrumptious deep-fried goodness filling the air in the small community of Bickmore?
Ramsey’s Dairy Bar, created and owned by Allen Ramsey, has brought added life to a stretch of Route 16 that was once dominated by coal trucks. Along with the restaurant, there is also a Laundromat in the same building and Ramsey’s Car Wash, located just a few yards from the main building. Their menu is full of delicious eats, including ice cream treats.
The dairy bar is located at 7341 Clay Highway in Bickmore. Check out the Ramsey’s Dairy Bar page on Facebook or call 304-587-4442.
November: Speedy Tags & Title Service
Owners Eric and Michelle Williams have brought our county an extreme convenience: not having to drive to Flatwoods or Charleston to stand in long lines and wait for a DMV representative. They will do the work for you.
This is something of great value, considering the busy lives that most people lead nowadays. Stop in a see what they have to offer.
Speedy Tags & Title Service is located 139 Main Street in the town of Clay. Call them at 304-587-8247 or find them on Facebook at Speedy Tags and Title Service.
