Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers returns to Grayson

More than 40 years ago, Guthrie’s Chicken Fingers revolutionized the fast-food industry with the first chicken finger-only restaurant and now operates about 70 locations in 14 states. There’s good news for Grayson residents as Guthrie’s is re-opening on Tuesday at 1645 Grayson Highway. And the news keeps getting better — to celebrate the grand re-opening of the Grayson Guthrie’s, the first 100 guests, ages 16 and older, who purchase an Original Box Combo on Opening Day will receive free Guthrie’s for a year, including one Original Box Combo per month for 12 months (redeemable only at the Grayson location). Ten lucky winners will be selected from the group of 100 to receive an upgraded reward of one free Original Box Combo per week for 52 weeks. Franchise owners Parke Day and Rocky Moore have hired the husband-and-wife management team of Jarrett and Cassandra Harris to oversee operations. Jarrett Harris is a military veteran with years of experience in the hospitality industry. “We’ve made Grayson our home and we’re excited to become part of the community, get to know our neighbor and give people a reason to make Guthrie’s one of their go-to spots again,” said Jarrett Harris in a news

Sigman-Mills Furniture celebrates milestone anniversary

CONYERS — What began in 1951 with a borrowed truck, a handful of catalogs, and a young entrepreneur determined to build his own business has grown into one of Rockdale County’s longest-running family-owned retail establishments. Seventy-five years later, Sigman-Mills Furniture Company is celebrating a milestone spanning three generations of family ownership, decades of changes in the furniture industry, and Conyers’ growth from a small town into a thriving community. The company will celebrate its 75th anniversary Saturday, Nov. 14 from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., with a special La-Z-Boy recliner raffle, $75 gift card giveaways, balloon-pop discounts, storewide savings and refreshments at its Conyers showroom. Founded by William Thomas “Tom” Sigman and his wife, Miriam, in 1951, the business remains in the family and is owned by their daughter and son-in-law, Carol and former Conyers Mayor Randy Mills. Their children, Steven Mills and Caroline Mills Williams, now help run the company day to day. “There’s a lot of pride that comes with being a part of a family business that has lasted so long in a small community,” Carol said. “There aren’t many third-generation businesses around today.” For Tom, building a successful business was a goal shaped by the hardships

The annual event is designed to ensure families can get the key basics of a Thanksgiving meal so they will have a dinner to put on the table on Nov. 26.

AROUND TOWN: Georgia's new agriculture commissioner is a Snellville resident

The Blue Wave that washed through statewide offices and made history last week included a Gwinnett County connection. Georgia’s new Agriculture Commissioner, Katherine Juhan-Arnold, is a Snellville resident who founded Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen. She defeated Republican incumbent Agiculture Commissioner Tyler Harper in last week’s elections and will be the first Black woman to hold the office. “The campaign may be over, but our work is just beginning,” Juhan-Arnold said after her victory. “We’re going to protect our farmers, strengthen our communities, stand up for consumers, protect our animals, steady our resources and build an Agriculture Department that works for every Georgian.” Baby Katie’s Pharm and Kitchen was set up to operate as a nonprofit farm to help low income families have access to fresh fruit and vegetables. It also works with families through education to help them grow their own food. Juhan-Arnold ran on a “Grow Georgia” platform of supporting market access for Georgia farmers, investing in infrastructure such as broadband for farms, protecting farmland, addressing the rising cost to run a farm in Georgia, supporting farm-to-school programs and regional food hubs, expanding international markets for Georgia-grown products and ensuring Georgia’s poultry and livestock supplies remain healthy so
