Thank you to all our citizens who support our heroes!

Today is our last small business highlight for National Small Business Week. 

Today’s feature goes to Ink It Printing, located across from Dairy Queen and a few doors down from Southern Grind Coffee Shop.

Dropping into Ink It Printing, you find yourself in a cute and bright store front with Crandall shirts, caps, promotional materials, and freshies.

The atmosphere is alive with the hum of machines and workers.

A friendly receptionist asks if you need help and points you to the back office to meet Beth Maroney and Shelly Evans, owners of Ink It Printing.

A women-owned business, Ink It Printing has been a legacy of hard work, dedication, and individuals who believed in them.

Beginning in a metal shop in Combine with $200 in 2006, Beth and Shelly moved Ink It to Crandall in 2012 after they saw a “For Rent” sign while getting blizzards at Dairy Queen.

Beth and Shelly enjoy the flexibility and freedom Ink It Printing gives them.

They like helping others who are just starting out in small business and teaching new hires skills to grow and prepare them for future careers.

The diverse set of backgrounds and experiences keeps each day interesting.

If you have t-shirts, caps, stickers, banners, forms, business cards, signs, or promotional and marketing materials you need to print, email sales@inkitprint.com, call 972-428-9623, or contact them on Facebook at Ink It Printing.

Today’s Small Business highlight showcases Crandall Pharmacy, a full-on small-town pharmacy offering many products and personable service close to home.

Located just off 175, Crandall Pharmacy offers a variety of medications, vitamins, medical equipment, Circle E Candles, prescriptions, vaccinations, and injections. 

Stepping inside, co-owner Gary Mayberry and his cheerful staff make you feel at ease as the small-town atmosphere wraps around you. 

Softly playing country music drifts through the air as you peruse the clean and orderly products. 

The selection of instrumental supplies for guitars grabs your attention and beckons you over.

Gary’s favorite part of running his pharmacy is customer service and the ability to provide individual attention and care. 

He enjoys the connections he can build with his customers and the opportunity to be there for any of their health needs. 

It’s something that sets Crandall Pharmacy apart from big pharmacy chains and keeps customers coming back for more.

Stop by Crandall Pharmacy today and experience personable care close to home. 

They are open 8:30am-5:30pm Monday through Friday, or 9am-1pm on Saturdays. Give them a call at 972.427.6442 with any questions or to call in a prescription.

It’s National Small Business Week, and today’s highlight features small-town, home-cooked dining and take-out at its finest. 

A step into Hot Rodz Diner is like a blast from the past. 

Echoing the classic style of a 1950’s diner, you’ll be greeted warmly and led to a table.

Black square tables and bright red 50’s styled chairs fill the room, surrounded by cheery red booths with white tables. 

Paraphernalia from early Crandall days grace the walls. Familiar rock’n’roll tunes filter through the air as you taste fresh, home-cooked food and relax.

Once a brainchild of Rodney’s, Kathy and Rodney Lawson opened Hot Rodz Diner in February 2020. 

Operating where Happy Day’s Diner was, Hot Rodz employs some of the same staff and is a central social hub in town, where citizens gather to catch up, share a meal, and connect through conversation.

Challenges are no stranger to Hot Rodz, but that doesn’t stop them! 

They navigated COVID-19 and are constantly battling the uphill costs of inflation and meal costs. 

If requested, first responders and military customers can receive a discount on their meal.If you’d like to make reservations for a large group, private party, or take-out, send them a message through Facebook, email hotrodzdiner@yahoo.com, or call 972.472.3714.

For National Volunteer Week, we'd like to take a moment to highlight Neighbors Helping Neighbors and appreciate all our volunteers who graciously give of their time and abilities to make Crandall a better place. Pictured here are volunteers from The Gathering Church and teens from Grace Homeschool Co-op, helping our senior citizens with yardwork.
