Meet the Minds Behind the Miles
Billy Watterson (left) and Troy Erickson (right) are lifelong friends and the entrepreneurs behind Old Route 69 Brewery. The 2019 closure of the Cole Motor Sales company, which was operational for 113 years, originally presented an opportunity to carry on the tradition of local business ownership at this location. While under development, the adjoining Armory Building became available and provided inspiration to realize their dream of creating a fully equipped entertainment venue in their coveted hometown of Ada, Ohio.
