Doug Williams took over his father's business in 2012 and has remained the owner for the past ten years. Doug decided to keep the location of the business because of the community support and the personal and business relationships that have been built over the years. He has stated that he loves Urbana and would never leave the city. A lot has changed in the past 50 years. Doug Williams commented, "Retail space has gone up, consumers now have multiple choices, and business is more competitive". Changing with the times and keeping an open mind has helped the store continue to thrive. The business has always stayed pliable and open to new ideas.

“We know that tourism plays an important role in the economics of our county and that role is going to continue to grow. In order for us to be able to continue that momentum, the Chamber Board of Directors and Visitors Bureau Committee saw a need to establish a position in our organization to focus solely on the promotion of local attractions, arts, history, and showcase the beauty of our area, in turn bringing more visitors to Champaign County. We are very fortunate that Polly Trenor is going to take on this role and we believe she will do a excellent job.”
Trenor, a graduate of Urbana High School and Otterbein University, resides in Urbana with her husband, Patrick, and their three daughters. She has been an educator for the past 14 years, most recently at Graham Local Schools as a vocal music teacher. She is a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Urbana and leads the choir on Sunday services. Polly says she is looking forward to “the opportunity to share my passion for my hometown with others.”
