TRADITION, from front

Soon it became apparent that she could. She and her husband, Tony, purchased CC and Company, and ,Schmucker soon incorporated the racing theme, changing the name to Speedway Styles. When they purchased the business, the location came along with it. However, the Schmuckers soon learned that it was not necessarily the ideal spot to have a salon. After three years, the Schmuckers decided to pack up and move their business to what they felt would be a more customer-friendly spot out at Borkholders. They completed the move last winter, and by Jan. 1 they were ready to celebrate their grand re-opening. Since then, they have enjoyed their new location. "It's comfortable out here," Schmucker said. "I'm in a comfort zone out here. We have tons of parking. We didn't have the parking out there (on East Lincoln Street)." The location has also helped to open the doorway for another kind of customer. "One thing about here is we're picking up a lot of the RV travelers," Schmucker said. "A lot of the RV industries are sending people our way, which is awesome!" Schmucker finds that a lot of her returning customers also enjoy racing. However, she says, she does not wish to cater only to racing fans. "We have a lot of racing fans that come in. I do haircuts on drjvers," she said. -"l've (also) got people that aren't racing fans." There are several customers who Schmucker sees only once or twice a year. This is because they are vacationers. However, when they visit Nappanee, they almost always make an appointment at Speedway Styles. Schmucker attributes much of the business' success to friends like Dawn Hollar, Missy Fisher at the Nappanee Area Chamber of Commerce and Staci Lugar Brettin of the Small Business Development Center. "Stacy Brettin really sat doVvn with me and my husband and we really went over everything," she said. "(We looked at) what we need to do, what we needed to do, to keep people coming here and knowing where we were at." They now have two stylists, including Schmucker and Rachel Isley. In the future, the Schmuckers hope to be able to expand and add more services.
