The company now operates under the leadership of his grandsons Jeff and Tom Heinen and their children, Kim, Kelsey, and Jake Heinen. [2]

Company leadership, while acknowledging the risks associated with the deal, was hopeful that the population in the downtown area would continue its recent upward trend and further solidify the new store's customer base.
