The Wayland Area Chamber of Commerce held its annual dinner Thursday evening, when there was an interesting and unusual choice made for Business of the Year. Selected was the 4 One 2 Distillery on South Main Street next to the VFW post.
The eatery, distillery and arcade survived a very difficult year because of the reconstruction of South Main Street done by the Michigan Department of Transportation, which made it challenging for motorists to stop in for a drink, a taco or to play arcade games. Access to the business was severely reduced and even challenging, but now that the street has been repaved and reconstructed, co-owners Anthony Winters and Nissa Smith (pictured) are relieved and recharged.
The business recently celebrated its fourth anniversary in Wayland.
