Sixt J & Son Inc

Information may not be reliable

Grandpa John Sixt began his feed business in 1913. Being a German immigrant with an iron will and a dream of having his own business, he had the right combination of hard work, ethics and ambition to achieve his success. Ed Sixt Jr. joined his father in 1932 and quickly learned that hard work and dedication go hand-in-hand when you run a family business.

With the business being so successful, they decided to expand to lumber and building materials in 1956. This brought on new demands and challenges.

Then, in 1961, tragedy struck when fire destroyed their business in Yorkshire. This proved to be a turning point for the Sixt family. That year they decided to rebuild the business in Chaffee and John O. Sixt, Eds oldest son, began working alongside his father. It wasnt until 1976 that they decided to discontinue the feed business and concentrate on lumber and building supplies.

Then, in 1986, they took a giant step and expanded the business with a second location in Little Valley.
