"The Chamber – if it hadn’t stepped in – Albany’s oldest store (B. Lodge) would have closed and it would have been a shame. I was able to put together a very good loan through the Chamber … and I purchased it (B. Lodge). It was a dream. If I hadn’t gotten the loan and the Chamber hadn’t stepped in and said ‘this is viable,’ Lodge’s would be gone." - Jack Yonally, B. Lodge |
