CHAMBER FEATURED CORPORATE SPONSOR
The Future Awaits: After over 100 years in business, Renfro Supply Co. moving operations to new facility
Renfro Supply Company has been a staple of the local business community for over a century. In recent years, new ventures and an increased demand for additional goods and services has led to rapid growth. That growth has resulted in the need for increased operating space, which the company is about to get by upgrading to a new facility that will nearly quadruple their overall square footage.
“We could have continued on in the place we are at, but we would have seen a lot of diminishing revenue,” said President Burley McFarland, noting that the increasingly cramped workspace provided by the original building is simply no longer conducive to maintaining efficiency for a company growing at the rate that Renfro Supply is.
but it will make a world of difference as the company will jump up from nearly 20,000 square feet of operating space to almost 80,000 square feet.
“My goal is to create a platform for the continued growth and success of our employees, our vendors, and our customers,” said McFarland, who will soon be nearing his fourth decade with Renfro Supply. “As a business owner, I feel responsible to the employee, and I want to help our vendors meet the needs of our customers. Having this project move forward in the way that it has, I do believe that we have a very good infrastructure for bringing in a lot of new business.”
The move from the original location, on South Fifth Street in Williamsburg, to the new location, on Watts Creek Road, will be a short one in terms of distance (approximately three miles to the north),
Renfro Supply already services a wide coverage area, providing convenience stores, markets, business offices and various types of lodging facilities with goods such as snack foods, novelty items, home goods and more. With the expansion, McFarland said that the company will be able to reach further geographically, and will also be able
to fulfill the needs of larger customers such as prison facilities, school systems and large regional grocery chains.
In terms of all-new offerings, McFarland said that he is excited to have cooler and freezer space in the new facility, which will allow for the storage of several perishable food items. He also said that plans are in place to expand upon the list of janitorial supply products, as well as several other areas.
Another major development is the addition of equipment in the warehouse area that McFarland said will streamline those particular operations considerably, but he stressed that, despite an increase in automation, there are no plans whatsoever to decrease staff. In fact, with so much more ground to cover, he said that he expects to add upwards of 30 employees in the relatively near future.
ings. McFarland said he hopes to host a grand opening event sometime in September, where family, friends, and business partners can get a firsthand look at the massive upgrade.
As for what will happen to the original location, McFarland said that he is well aware of the important connection that building has to the surrounding community.
“It is bittersweet,” McFarland said of the move. “The building has a character of its own, I feel like. I think that the building does
become a part of our collective consciousness. It is not in my plans currently to let go of the building, because it is just too much of a part of the legacy of the company.”
“The warehouse operations will be a lot more efficient,” McFarland explained. “We are not going to reduce any staff there, though, and a lot of the new jobs will be on the revenue generating side, such as sales and promotion.”
As this magazine is making its way into readers’ hands, Renfro Supply employees should be in the process of getting settled into their new surround-
“I do feel an obligation to the Renfro family,” McFarland added. “I know that it is important to them too, so I wouldn’t do anything without first consulting them.”
Despite dealing with a certain level of anxiety that comes with knowing that the company is about to leave the only place it’s ever called home, McFarland knows that the benefits the new facility will provide far outweigh any short-term growing pains that might be experienced.
“One great thing is, where we’ve been operating, in that building everyone is right on top of each other,” McFarland said. “We lose a lot of productivity and organization that way. It is just ridiculously tight in there, so I think that we are going to gain a lot from having a more structured setting for our employees.”
“We want our employees to come to work and feel a sense of gratitude and appreciation,” McFarland continued. “I have always believed that a productive employee is a happy employee. Everyone likes to go home at the end of the day with the feeling of a job well done.”
News of the expansion has also gotten around to most of Renfro’s vendors by now, all of whom McFarland said are
My goal is to create a platform for the continued growth and success of our employees, our vendors, and our customers.
excited about the prospects for the future.
“The vendors are excited about what we’re doing,” said McFarland. “They see the opportunities. No one likes for things to always just be the same old, same old. People getting excited and having the right attitude about the future will bring that future to fruition. It starts with the attitude. And that is the mentality of everyone in our organization.”
In addition to the already drastic increase in operating space, McFarland said that he hopes to also add some new administrative offices onto the grounds in the coming months.

Holiday Inn Express of Williamsburg set to undergo major renovation starting later this year
Holiday Inn Express of Williamsburg, located at 56 W Hwy 92 near I-75 Exit 11, is one of the area’s newer hotels. Still, owner Viral Patel is focused on how to improve the property and ensure that guests receive a top-notch lodging experience.
Patel has worked in the hospitality industry for over two decades, starting out as a housekeeper and spending time working in just about every other department there is before eventually becoming an owner. “I just took this property over last year, at the end of July,” he said about Holiday Inn of Williamsburg. “We are planning to do a reno-
vation of the property starting in November. We will be changing everything, with new beds, flooring, paint, and an entirely new lobby.”
Patel said that Holiday Inn currently employs about 15 people between housekeeping, maintenance, laundry and front desk staff. The facility includes 69 guest rooms and offers guests free breakfast service, wi-fi, a fitness center and an indoor heated pool, among other amenities. He said that lodgers will typically range from families on vacation, to people coming into town for business, to teams from all over the United States who are visiting the nearby University of the

Cumberlands for various athletic competitions.
“The lodging industry, overall, is a very satisfying business,” Patel shared. “You take care of the guests, and at the end of the day, if you are helping to make somebody’s day better, it gives you a sense of satisfaction.”
Patel said that, despite the fact that he is still relatively new to the Williamsburg area himself, he has seen a lot of growth over the past year-or-so.
In addition to being located a short distance from I-75, he said that continued growth in the local business community and continued expansion by the university have all come together to create several new and
exciting opportunities when it comes to providing lodging services.
Leading up to the aforementioned major renovation, Patel said that work is ongoing to upgrade appliances, such as air conditioning units, with more energy efficient models whenever the opportunity arises.
He also said that, as they need to be replaced, televisions in all guest rooms are increasing from 50-inch screens to 55-inch displays.

Dayspring Health celebrates one year anniversary
Dayspring Health began its story as a small clinic in a small, Appalachian coal mining community during the 1950s, which was known back then as the Clear Fork Community Clinic.
In the 1970s, that clinic joined with two others in the area to form the Laurel Fork-Clear Fork Health Center. Following the formation of the new entity, they became the first group of fully-funded community health centers in Tennessee.
Expansion came over the following years, as a new clinic was opened in Jellico, Tennessee, in the 1980s, and another in Williamsburg in 1994.
In 1998, they underwent a name change that had them taking on the moniker they’re still known as today.
With clinics still operating in Clearfield and Jellico, Tennessee, Dayspring opened a new state-of-theart comprehensive medical center just last year in the old Cumberland Regional Mall in Williamsburg. The facility, called Dayspring Regional Health Center (DRHC), was constructed to be a one-stop shop for
the community that it serves by offering a variety of services, including some of which aren’t normally found at a normal primary care office.
The services patients can utilize at DRHC include: mental health therapy, women’s health/obstetrics, dentistry, physical therapy, chiropractic and a number of diagnostic services, such as x-ray and ultrasound. Additionally, DRHC provides telehealth services through a number of providers, allowing patients to connect with a specialist without having to drive hours away to be seen in person.
As part of the new facility, Dayspring was also able to nearly double the size of its primary care practice and has added a dedicated pediatrics wing.
Dayspring celebrated one year of service at DRHC on July 1, where a number of local and state leaders were in attendance. During the anniversary event, Dayspring Chief Executive Officer Larry Rector and Dayspring Chief Medical Officer Dr. Geogy Thomas, participated in a panel discussion with Danielle Ware chief lending officer at Hope Credit Union, and Dwain Neeley senior vice president at Fahe. Both
Hope and Fahe, along with Spectrum, were involved in providing Dayspring with the capital to renovate DRHC.
Rector spent time during the discussion speaking to the reasoning behind Dayspring deciding to take a leap of faith on buying and renovating the space that now houses DRHC.
“This space was an old Walmart—57,000 square feet. So, you’re talking about a huge blank canvas to work with. It allowed us to think outside the box
and how to make a transformational impact with this idea that we stand for to be a medical home and provide integrative care that’s high-quality and affordable,” said Rector. “The idea was then, we got a lot of space to work with, so how many things can we put under the roof so that it is truly integrated care?”
Dr. Thomas also took some time during the anniversary event panel to talk about the ‘why’ behind both Dayspring’s mission and DRHC.

Owner of Pixie Dust Boutique wants to give local shoppers something different
Many people in the local business community already know Jayma Moore. A longtime employee of Firestone in Williamsburg, she has spent years cultivating professional relationships and putting a considerable amount of energy into various charitable efforts.
Among those efforts has been the countless hours that she has spent working in the Friendship Center Antique and Thrift Shop, located at 528 Main Street in downtown Williamsburg. Those who frequent the center are likely well aware of Moore’s contributions, and since this past spring visitors have also had the option of shopping in her brand-new adjoining store – Pixie Dust Boutique.
Moore said that what started as a hobby quickly grew into a new business venture that is now allowing her to sell many of her personal favorite items to shoppers in the Williamsburg community.
After doing some research into what other stores in the local area were offering, Moore opened Pixie Dust on April 1 and began filling her shelves with options that, as far as she could tell, are not available anywhere else in Whitley County.
One of her most popular sellers is Tyler-branded products, which includes a large array of scented candles, laundry detergents, personal care items and more. She is proud to be the only store in the area authorized to feature this particular brand
Story and photos by Trevor Sherman
among her many offerings.
Pixie Dust also offers unique clothing items, fashion accessories and home goods, as well as synthetic floral arrangements for any occasion.
“I went from an early retirement to working here six days a week,” Moore said, pointing out that she has recently hired some part-time help to ease the workload. “It’s been busy. We’ve had a lot of fun with it, though, and we’ve been seeing a lot of people.”
Moore said that her main goal is to get more people into downtown, shopping locally instead of traveling outside the area to places like Knoxville or Lexington. “I want to keep business local,” she explained. “We need to help each other, and work with each other.”
In the future, Moore said she hopes to be able to expand the offerings at Pixie Dust and maybe even open up a second location in the Corbin area.
For more information, scan the QR code accompanying this article to be taken to the store’s Facebook page. There, you will find several photos and videos featuring available goods and services.
Those wishing to learn more about the store can also reach out by phone at 606.523.8384.
Current hours of operation are Monday-Thursday, 10 am-5 p.m.; Friday, 10 am-6 pm; and Saturday, 10 am-5 pm.
While Express Employment Profession-
als is a relative newcomer to southern Kentucky, the company is no stranger to matching those seeking employment with companies needing qualified workers.
“Express is mainly focused on helping people find jobs, either they are looking for a new career or to jump start their career out of school that is our main focus. With that we are able to help and support companies finding them the talent they need. Those two things are the main things we focus on and how we are able to support,” said Raphael Baeta, who is the operations manager for the Lafollette branch of Express Employment Professionals.
“When you look at the job candidate side of things and the company side of things, there are more ser-

vices we are able to provide. We just really try and go above and beyond and assist them in any way we can.”
For instance, job seekers may come in, who have had a rough couple of years, and need somebody to extend their hand and help them out, such as helping with gas so they can get to and from work or helping them get safety equipment, such as steel toed boots or safety hats.
Baeta said that one of the things that makes the company different is that even though it is a large organization with close to 900 locations nationwide, the locations are franchise owned.
“That means that we are locally owned, and we are flexible with our pricing and with the recruiting strategies and tailor to that area. It doesn’t matter if
my corporate office has a policy or way of doing things. If I need to change it up and make it custom to that area because it would work better, I am able to do that. I think that is what differentiates us a lot from other staffing services,” Baeta said.
Express Employment Professionals’ closest office to the southern Kentucky area is currently the one in Lafollette, Tennessee.
Professionals.
“We want our clients to succeed because if they don’t succeed, then we don’t succeed. I am always trying to tell people our goal is to try and find you the best fit for this job. If you have an opening, we want to find you the best employee,” Baeta said.
That means that we are locally owned, and we are flexible with our pricing and with the recruiting strategies and tailor to that area.
Baeta said that nothing is concrete at this moment, but the goal of the company is to expand into southern Kentucky and open an office in this area.
“Before we move forward into finding a physical location and things like that and making it official, we have to gain some momentum in that area in terms of starting to work with companies,” he said.
“The goal is not for that employee to be with the company for three months and then to find something else. The goal is for them to be hired on into your company, become your employee and stay as long as possible.”
In east Tennessee since the company first opened its Knoxville office in 1993, it has interviewed over 400,000 people.
Express Employment Professionals recently joined the Southern Kentucky Chamber of Commerce and Baeta is coming into the area and networking on a regular basis.
Express Employment is currently working with companies in the Corbin area, and it is in communication with companies in Williamsburg and London.
Baeta noted that some people have a negative view of staffing companies assuming the employment companies are just trying to throw people at jobs even if they don’t really fit that job, or that they are just trying to make a quick buck and don’t care about long term employment, which he notes isn’t true in the case of Express Employment
Just last year in 2024, Express Employment paid a total of 12,870 people, served
1,233 companies and issued 133,000 checks just in east Tennessee.
“A lot of people still have a bad view on staffing, but at the end of the day we are helping people find jobs. We are helping them provide for their families.
When we say we have put back into the east Tennessee community close to $85 million. Those are the families that we are affecting,” Baeta said.
“When you look at numbers, they don’t lie. It shows you the impact we can have as a staffing business. It just makes us proud of what we do.”
If a company is interested in contacting Express Employment Professionals, Baeta said the best way is to e-mail him at Raphael.Baeta@ExpressPros. com or call him directly at 832.901.1134.
