“work refreshed”

Our roots in retail go back… way back! Lively’s General Store was a fixture in its small mountain town back in the day, and our company name pays homage to the old-fashioned work ethic we inherited from all our family.

Solving problems and making life better for our customers is how we help them work refreshed, too.
