Stacey’s Country Kitchen Receives January Business of the Month Honor

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce congratulates Stacey’s Country Kitchen located at 469000 Highway 95 in Sagle as the January 2011 Business of the Month for their generosity in the community.

Although Stacey’s Country Kitchen has been in business for just over a year and a half, they have gone above and beyond expectations with providing good old-fashioned home cooking, exceptional service, and valuable community contributions. Owners Mike and Lisa Chronic have given of themselves far more than just tasty food. This past Thanksgiving and Christmas, they reached out to the community to provide free meals. On Veteran’s Day, they also provided a free breakfast, lunch or dinner to veterans to express appreciation for their sacrifices to this country. “We fed more people on Veteran’s Day than we have any day since opening,” Lisa stated.

Mike and Lisa would also like to thank the many individuals who gave generous donations to help offset the cost of preparing Thanksgiving meals. Carl and Diana Mays, David and Dorothy Watts, Mark and Corrine Jones are among the many who generously contributed to make this a great community effort. Customers of Stacey’s Kitchen also helped to fill approximately 150 gift tags for the tree of sharing which provided Christmas gifts to families who otherwise may not have had any.

Stacey’s Kitchen owes a lot of success to their tremendous staff. “I would like to give a huge thank you to our team here, without them we would surely fail. They are the best!” says Lisa.

The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is pleased to honor Stacey’s Country Kitchen as the recipient of the January Business of the Month and wishes them continued success. For more information please call (208) 265-5095.
