Special to the Courier

VIP Office Furniture and Supply is celebrating its 35th year in business. Despite the current economic climate, VIP continues to employ 30 employees, comprised mostly of Hinesville natives, military spouses and retirees.

"We are thrilled to reach this achievement. When so many businesses have been forced to close their doors, we keep striving and have been able to keep ours open," said VIP President Barbara Pilkinton. She attributes the retailer’s accomplishment to a friendly, knowledgeable staff, tenacity and persistence.
