BEAUT Thomas "Sonny" Dagenhart, owner of NAPA AUTO PARTS/Elk City Auto Parts in Bedford, VA (serviced by NAPA Roanoke), came up with a very unique way of paying for the cost of converting his store to the NAPA Pipeline look. Of course, he utilized his NAPA Co op dollars but he was able to go one step further by taking advantage of a special government project in downtown Bed ford. When Bedford was selected by the federal government for a downtown beautification project, $5 to $6 million dollars was available, in grant money, for new sidewalks, streets, trees and busi ness front renovations. Each business had a choice of a $2,000 grant or a low interest loan.

Once all of the down town renovation was completed, a local awards program was held and Dagen hart's store received a plaque for being one of the best renovations. "I have to say that before, I didn't realize how much of an improvement the Pipeline would make in the way the store looks and the amount of attention it re ceives. It's getting a lot of attention and a lot of compliments. I've been a NAPA Jobber for 26 years and my store has never looked this good before."
