MISSOULA, Mont. — When Jenny Hockman and E.J. Pribyl took over Roemer's Point S Tire & Service in Missoula recently, they inherited a business with seven decades of serving the community.
At a 60th anniversary promotion 10 years ago, Hockman recalls customers — some of them patrons from the early days of the business — stopping by to tell their Roemer's stories.
"It's great having that community connection," said Hockman, a co-owner and acting manager of the Missoula dealership.
Some customers have patronized the business for years, and they refer their friends and family to them as well. Roemer's also gives back to Missoula. The business launched a 60 Acts of Kindness campaign for its 60th anniversary and continues that work today by supporting local organizations, including the YWCA, Youth Homes, the Missoula Food Bank, The International Choral Festival and the Humane Society of Western Montana.
