Eli Allen started working for the company when he was in high school and became general manager in 2009. In 2013, with funding through the SBA 504 Loan program, administered by Wyoming Industrial Development Corporation and Frontier Certified Development Company (WIDC-Frontier CDC), in participation with Yampa Valley Bank, Allen purchased the commercial property site. Allen secured a SBA 7a Loan for the purchase of the remaining business assets. Now, as the business continues to grow, Allen is creating personal equity in his business and commercial property.
