Business Still Blooming For Virg-Ann After 65 Years

Link to June 29 Warren Times Observer article.

Excerpt: The shop was opened in 1945 by business partners Sheldon Johnson and Angelo Dicembre. The two men combined their wives' names, Virginia Johnson and Ann Dicembre, to create the Virg-Ann name. Dicembre later bought out Johnson's share. The shop became a family business with the help of his wife, daughter Judy Dicembre-Ekey and granddaughter Annamarie Dicembre-Miller

Currently, Dicembre-Miller is at the helm of the business. A business run by a third generation descendant is rare
