Happy 75th Birthday, Soil Service!

Contgratulations to life-long friend, Steve Archer. Steve is the third generation owner of Soil Service Garden Center at 7130 Troost in Kansas City.The store was started by Steve's grandparents, Red and Naomi Archer in 1934. Ownership then passed to their son, Howard, and now to Steve.
Steve's brother, Gary Archer owns and operates Soil Service Nursery just across the street, and their sister, Jan Archer rounds out the third generation, keeping track of both brothers - a very big job!
Steve's sons Matt and Mark Archer are working here now, bringing on the fouth generation in fine style. There was a big celebration April 25. Toby Tobin broadcasted his show live from the store, and customers enjoyed refreshments and some great deals of the day.

Congratulations, Archer Family! We wish you another successful 75 years!
