Nat's is a regional store with customers from all over south central Kentucky, northern Tennessee and southern Indiana. Nat's now has 20 employees. Nat bought his first business in 1971; the L&M Bookstore located across from Western Kentucky University. It was there that he felt the need for selling outdoor sports merchandise. In two years, he opened a bike shop next to his bookstore. While a friend managed the bookstore he ran the bike shop. His customer base grew, and in 1975 he moved to a larger location, which was actually two houses that were joined to make a showroom. It was there that he had the space to stock bicycles and try new merchandise like backpacks, clothing, and other camping gear. After many successful years in that location, Nat made a "tremendous jump" and moved the store to a two-year-old shopping center and he became the anchor store for the center (Thoroughbred Square - off Scottsville road). That was a good location and a very successful store. In 1993 Nat saw a great opportunity and moved to his present location on Wilkinson Trace.
