Shortly after 4:00 p.m., Ben’s Barbershop owner Ben Witt was honored with the Chamber of Commerce Because Nice Matters award, on Tuesday, May 22, 2018. Witt has owned the business for two years, continuing the downtown tradition of Vogel’s barbershop. His attractive shop is located conveniently at 205 E. Main Street, Morrison, IL.

Shown receiving and presenting, respectively, the Because Nice Matters customer service award are business owner Ben Witt and Chamber Coordinator Meridith Layne. Client Eric Case of Cordova, IL, is seated.
Witt was selected, “not because nice is easy, but because nice matters!” His nominator stated, “Ben takes the time with each customer, making you feel like the only one, and makes getting a haircut an experience. With children, he transforms them from scruffy to young man and is very patient.”
