mr. dennis was the co-founder of t.p.i. corporation, one of the largest electric heating manufacturers in the world for 50 years during his lifetime.
he was a native of cocke county, tn. robert (everybody called him bob), was a very successful entrepreneur with only an 8th grade education. during his lifetime and upon his passing, he was honored and recognized on numerous occasions by the senate of the state of tennessee for his contributions as “one of tennessee’s most prominent businessmen. he grew up supporting his mother and 5 siblings while trapping animals in the appalachian mountains to help feed his family and became owner of his first business (a soda fountain) while barely in his teens. he later became owner of the coffee pot restaurant in newport, tn., the peggy anne restaurant in kingsport and the beverly court hotel and restaurant on the corner of sunset and north roan in johnson city.
upon robert’s death, his daughter, tanya, inherited the store and began the arduous task of reorganizing the business. the first thing tanya did was change the name of the business to “northside wine and spirits”. an extensive re-merchandising followed including adding a huge new selection of wine and soon northside became one of the top spirits retailers in johnson city. at that time, tanya was a seasoned professional musician residing in nashville and touring as a supporting vocalist, fiddler and guitar player with major country music artists such as faith hill, janie fricke, skip ewing and bill anderson. just after her father’s passing, tanya also began touring in europe in support of her first selfpenned, promoted and produced release “waterdance” which had been nominated for and won several awards in the world of country music including “female rising star (european market)”.
in the years to follow, the business grew in leaps and bounds. three of the employees who came on board in the early years are still bedrock members of the northside team. jim mooneyhan, pat daniels and billy barker are to be credited with a great deal of the stability, growth and success of northside.
our newest full time team members are evan rowland and alan young. evan has brought a fresh approach to our new craft beer section as well as multi-tasking in many other aspects of the store. evan and alan hold down the night shift and much more.
with a commitment to service, northside and it’s team welcome you to our store.
