👀 Featured Local Business: Hopkins’ Eatery
Hopkins’ Eatery was founded in the late 1970s by Clay Hopkins, introducing a then-uncommon concept centered on fresh, made-from-scratch sandwiches, soups, and salads. | Menu
Ownership later transitioned to DeeDee Johnston in 1982, preserving the original vision while expanding the brand’s presence in the community.
Under Johnston’s leadership, Hopkins’ grew into a reliable, community-focused favorite while remaining a family-owned business committed to long-term stewardship rather than corporate expansion.
It is now led by her daughters Debbie and Jennifer, along with long-time family partner Steve, representing the next generation of ownership and continuity.
The brand’s longevity reflects over four decades of legacy built on consistency, strong customer relationships, and quality food.
