Since Memories Charcoal House opened in 1994, their policy has been to provide the community and their regulars with great food, good times, and to be casually entertaining. On January 1, 2009, two of Memories long-time employees, Andrea Harding and Jon Speiser, purchased Memories from their previous employer with the idea of preserving Memories tradition of customer loyalty and community atmosphere. They currently boast record sales, backed up by a new menu, renovations, and a steady stream of fresh weekly menu specials.  Community outreach has been the focus of their new business model. They currently host a different charity event every month with 10% of their daily sales donated back to the community. These events, coupled with the sponsoring of multiple local youth sports organizations and individual teams, has established Memories as a Community Restaurant that benchmarks and maintains standards not only in their establishment but in the community as well.
