Rocky Top has been a staple in the Northfield community for the last 33 years. We are excited to work with them in their new space located at Heritage Square (2010 Jefferson Road), right off of Highway 3 South. We stopped in and took a minute to interview Missy Harmon, the new owner of this local establishment. Read along to learn her journey.
Tell us about how your business was started. How did you get involved in the industry?
It’s been a part of my family for as long as I remember. The screen printing press was purchased by my dad. My grandpa (Dennis Holt) started screen printing in his basement. In 1995 the business was moved to Division Street. After her mom (Ann Maas) passed away in 2015 after a 2 year battle with breast cancer, Missy having grown up around the equipment quit nursing school and took the opportunity to fill her moms shoes like no one else could have.
Missy’s favorite part of the business is making a customers vision into a project.

We moved out to Heritage Square from downtown hoping for more visibility. It’s been my motto, “A fresh place for a fresh face.” Downtown was my moms vision, this is my vision. We are looking forward to expanding our customer base.
