Shop Local with Brothers Bar-B-Que

Host Leesa Boone welcomes listeners to Shop Local on Nash 104.9 and highlights how WTTLradio.com streams stations, covers local sports with live play-by-plays, and provides a downloadable football sports guide and community calendar. She runs through national calendar observances and introduces co-host Kim Simons from Brothers Bar-B-Que for a conversation about legacy, Christian values in business, stewardship, budgeting for taxes and giving, staying debt-free, and supporting the community through sponsorships and service. They discuss challenges for small restaurants, including staffing, training, fluctuating costs, and the need for grace with employees and customers, plus the importance of promoting local businesses through social media. Kim confirms Brothers’ Steak Fridays by call-ahead order and shares updates like crunchier crinkle fries, a free scoop of ice cream for guests who mention the Shop Local Show, and Brothers’ mission-focused approach. Lisa previews upcoming guests Calvert Drive-In, Madisonville Garage Doors, and Pioneer Family Medicine and invites other small businesses to book future spots.
