Meet the Business Owner: Lisa S.
My name is Lisa , for which this business was named after . It was my fathers suggestion to open up the Bait Shop after 1 year after I graduated and applied at banks , businesses and even factories to be told I didn’t have any experience. So my father had this building sitting on two lots right off of the main drag Military Rd . Over here on Watts Rd . We got in here and fixed it up bought the main things in order to carry live bait and then it came down to naming it . He said why don’t we name it Lisa’s for a woman’s name will draw more customers . Plus he said you will be running it . Well he wasn’t lying about that, here it will be 33 years come May 1st . I must admit I really didn’t like fishing but a few years after we opened I met my husband . And he would take me fishing any where and I would catch fish about every time . We have been married 29 years come March 1St and we have 1 daughter that will be 28 years old later in March .
