Reno County mom-and-pop shops are staples for its rural towns, but supporting them in places like Haven or Yoder sometimes takes more than local residents walking through their doors. Mom-and-pop shops sometimes define a small-town, with local restaurants, manufacturers or farms creating jobs, commerce and community. But according to the Haven Chamber of Commerce, keeping the doors open and the lights on requires more than just the community’s locals. Downtown Haven continues to grow, with three new businesses, including two in Haven, opening in the past nine months. The Haven Chamber of Commerce president Kaya Wells said the community welcomes the change.
