The third generation owners of some small businesses in Camas and Washougal do not take their success for granted. They know their customers are loyal if they are provided with great service.

Aaron Lutz, owner of Lutz Hardware for almost a decade, has worked at the store since he was a child. He remembers watching the TV show, “Happy Days,” and wanting to name the hardware store after his family, just like the character of Howard Cunningham owned Cunningham’s Hardware.
