With the changing of the calendar comes a major change in Willshire, Ohio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of August 1, Becky’s Village Restaurant becomes Everett Family Restaurant, under the ownership of Taylor and JJ Everett.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becky Genth has sold the popular eatery to the Everetts, saying that it’s time for her to slow down. She will, however, continue working at the restaurant on a part-time basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor Everett, who will manage the newly-named restaurant, is no stranger to the business. The native of Ansonia, Ohio, began working at Becky’s 10 years ago, at the age of 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She’s also had some other jobs, Taylor said, including at Manley Meats, where she met her husband, JJ (James), five years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of January 1, 2022, JJ Everett, Matt and Mark Manley and Jennifer DuBois, became the owners of Manley Meats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor says the restaurant’s hours will remain the same and \u201cit will be mostly the same foods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taylor and JJ and their three children \u2013 Zoe, Oakley and Albany \u2013 reside in Decatur. JJ is a Bellmont graduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Becky and her father, John Bunnell \u2013 onetime owner of the Preble Gardens restaurant\/bar and currently a resident of Atlanta \u2013 purchased the Willshire business in 1996. She built the business into a popular place for folks from Ohio and Indiana to gather and to dine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In announcing the change, Becky said the Everetts are \u201cthe best people ever to take this place to a new level. Please back them as you have backed me for 26 years. Bless you all and thank you for letting me serve you all these years.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
