Mill Town 48 was a work in progress by Hershel and Dianne’s son, Mark Anderson right as the world was affected by Covid 19 and the closing of our local landmark, the paper mill. Mill Town 48 launched its products in fall of 2023 and has quickly become a local favorite and on the aisles of our local Ingles grocery stores, Ace Hardware, a local restaurant, produce stand, a BBQ food truck and at the WNC farmers market.

In early 2024 we were blessed to be endorsed by Mossy Oak to become an official Mossy Oak licensed product!

But in the midst of our success and celebration, devastation hit. Mark’s dental lab located in Historic Biltmore Village, NC was hugely impacted by the floods of Hurricane Helene. With over 11 feet of water inside the first floor of the building, a great deal was lost, but Mark’s heart and determination has persevered. Within days, an owner of a competitor lab reached out and offered for the lab and all employees to continue operations out of his facility that would require hours of commuting each week and a lot of time away from family.

After 7 Months and a lot of HARD WORK and PERSEVERANCE, Image Dental Arts reopened its doors to resume business as normal as possible in an area hugely affected by natural disaster.
