Fastimes Community Markets Full selection of meat,produce,deli and groceries.Let us earn your business! My story begins in 1903. The second generation was my Grandaddy Verlie Wells.

That was the year generation one, my great grandparents, opened the first Well's Grocery in downtown Brighton. At that time, Brighton was quite different, a hotel, a creamery, hardware store, a bank, and a couple of grocery stores. I remember the wooden floors, pot belly stoves, and the groceries on shelves behind the counters. Coal, kerosene, harness, feed for animals, groceries, and meats could be found in the early retail stores. Closed on Sundays and half days on Wednesdays, life was simple. During grandaddy's lifetime he moved the store to Main Street. Purchasing a farm on Jack Bennett Road, Grandaddy began raising cattle, hogs, and large gardens. All of these things made their way to Wells General Store in Brighton. We had our own meat packing plant where we learned the art of selling meat. Salted meats, smoked hams, fresh meats, and our famous Wells Sausage were sold and taken to homes all across America. Grandaddy Verlie died in 1953, I was only one at the time. The third generation was Uncle Whit Wells, Uncle Bob Wells, and my parents, Arnold and Louise Vandergrift. One store grew to eight, the meat processing plant was expanded, added a hardware store, and added three restaurants. Uncle Whit taught me the art of cutting meat while my daddy taught me the grocery business and my mother instilled in me the importance of discipline. The last Wells store closed in 2007. The fourth generation consists of myself, my sister Vannice, my brother Bryan, and many cousins. As stores were sold, family moved on in other directions. Bryan and Vannice were loyal to the end when the last store closed in 2007. Vannice took over Well's Kitchen and Bryan joined the Fastimes Management team. Fastimes was started in 1991 when Caren and I purchased the first Fastimes on Hwy 14 from the Stafford family. In 1995 we remodeled and added on to the existing store. Business was good and in 2000 I brought in my future partner, Ric Morris, to help me manage Fastimes #1. Mine and Ric's passion to serve the public has never wavered and we realize that without our customers we are just an empty building. Our prayer is that in everything we do, we bring honor and glory to our lord. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways submit to him and he will make your path straight. Sincerely,
Jimmy Vandergrift
