The owners say the family business started in the 1940s. They hope to continue serving local farmers for many more years.
The same owners own the Town car wash, which is also now back up again.
Sarah Devers, Co- owner of Nichols Farm Supply and car wash said, “It feels like we’re making progress, since we have two businesses back up and running. We are working own others… it just takes time in our struggling little town.”
