My wife Lauren and I bought the Fredericton Montana’s in the summer of 2019 and it truly has been a fun and interesting ride as business owners since then. The last couple of years has allowed us to learn every aspect of the business and the importance of having a great team of people around us. We now have the best people in the business inside our building and are going into the future stronger than we have ever been. We are really excited about our future with our Montana’s family.
