The owner of Bluffton’s newest business has big plans for thinking small.
Andy Chapell-Dick of Bluffton, a general and remodeling contractor, has started Small House Bluffton, a business whose focus is constructing small, fully-functional houses.
“A lot of people want to go small, not just empty nesters, but people who for a practical basis see the cost of living going up,” Chappell-Dick says, in explaining his new venture.
“Bluffton is a unique community. I’m providing something the community hasn’t seen. It’s different housing option,” he said.
Jerry Lewis’ McDonald’s is giving people a break on tax day. Area locations will be offering a special promotion on Monday, April 15. Customers who buy one Big Mac or Quarter Pounder with Cheese can get a second for just 15 cents.
“Tax Relief Day is one more way we are bringing customers great value,” said Jerry Lewis, local McDonald’s owner. “Our customers look forward to the promotion every year.”
The promotion runs the entire day and is available at McDonald’s in Lima, Delphos, Van Wert, Beaverdam, Bluffton and Ada.
