Relocation helps local shop attract more business

By Staff

A local business has found success since relocating from Phil Campbell to Russellville.
Brothers Body Shop and Custom Painting owner Don Landers said the business relocated to Hwy. 43 last September, and the new location has improved the shop's business tremendously.
"Our business has picked up big time since the move, mainly because of the highway," Landers said. "More people see we're here, which turns into more business."
The shop is a body shop, but it also provides custom paintwork for motorcycles, trikes, cars and trucks.
"We also do any kind of vintage restoration," Landers said.
He said it takes his shop about a year to complete a total restoration on a vintage vehicle.
"We work on those by the hour," Landers said. "We've got three back there now we are working on."
Landers said several of the cars he has restored were in yesterday's car and truck show at the Watermelon Festival.
Lander said he is pleased with the results of the move, and is looking forward to continuing his business in Russellville.
