Jack-B’s: Fulfilling a Promise and a Dream
Jack-B’s, a take out restaurant, offers home style American cuisine with a story behind the name. Owner Brenden Butler has over 20 years of restaurant management experience, and cooking has always been his passion. In 2004, as he was in the process of opening a small restaurant in Florida, his father, Jack, was diagnosed with esophageal cancer. Instead of opening the restaurant, Brenden came home to be with his dying father. Brenden’s dream, and his promise to his father, was that he would run his own restaurant, and name the business after his father.
“Last August, Brenden and I discovered that this tiny place was for sale in Downtown Findlay, and the rest is history,” Butler’s wife Sherrie explained. “We both made the decision to leave our day jobs, and we are having the time of our lives working alongside each other. Brenden’s sister, Emily has also come on board with us to help! For now, I love the fact that we have weekends off, which allows us to spend time with each other and our family. That hasn’t happened for a very long time! Perhaps, in the future, we’ll decide to open a few hours on the weekends.”
Jack-B’s signature sandwich is a philly cheesesteak served with house-made Jack-B-Relish. They also serve 1/2 pound and 1lb burgers and make homemade cookie dough and peanut butter buckeyes fresh each week.
Jack-B’s is offering a 20% discount for first-time online orders via their Facebook page or text JACKBS to 33733.

A New Location for Habitat For Humanity of Findlay/Hancock County
Habitat for Humanity of Findlay/Hancock County will be relocating. Wendy McCormick, Executive Director, shares that the agency’s new “Home of Our Own” will be at 1200 Commerce Parkway.
Purchasing the building on Commerce Parkway allows the organization to be proactive, ensuring stability for the future. Currently, operations are divided between two buildings, which can lead to inefficiencies and confusion. Those issues will be remedied with the move which will place all Habitat operations, staff and volunteers under one roof. The intent is to pay off the mortgage as quickly as possible while maintaining the current programming model (two new home builds, one home rehabilitation,15-20 critical home repairs annually, coupled with ongoing community education).
Habitat’s three-year strategic plan focuses on enhancing stability by implementing exactly what they teach their partner families—decrease debt, prioritize expenditures and invest in themselves first. As McCormick points out, stabilizing their operations now, with a home of their own, will position them to serve more families in the future. The move is anticipated in late summer. Until then, patrons can visit the ReStore and offices at 2042 Tiffin Ave.
