In 2011 the Dunhams expanded their business venture to include the Spitfire Arms Pub. Spitfire Arms Pub was already a beloved staple in the town, on the decline before the Dunhams’ ownership. So, they wanted to maintain the pub’s character just as it was originally envisioned. Devastatingly, Spitfire Arms Pub had an electrical fire in the middle of the night in 2015 and was extensively burnt. Debbie and Rick took on the renovations and tried to restore the pub as the community remembered it. As quickly as they could, they rebuilt the pub to resemble the previous appearance. Rick immediately secured a temporary location for his staff, knowing their livelihoods depended on the pub. The renovations took about 8 months to complete, and the community was eager to get right back in.
