smile . I don ’ t intend to ever act my age . I ’ ll always love those little cars .”
The Wallers are a licensed Mattel Dealer , so they don ’ t sell used cars . Patrons are able to come in and browse the collection or purchase a oneof-a-kind car . No matter the reason for coming in , the collection is definitely a treat to take in one afternoon . “ If they don ’ t have it , they can probably find it in storage ,” Sonya said . The Wallers are thinking about selling the company and retiring . Jerry says he would sell it , but it would have to be for the right amount . So if they do sell , what will happen to all the cars ? “ Well , most cars go up in value ; there will probably be a sale . We do give a lot to the Shoe Box Christmas every year , several of the local churches for missions and orphans and other charity events . We give boxes and boxes away to those that are in need of a smile . The rest of the Hot Wheels , well , I just haven ’ t thought on that yet ,” Sandra said .
Sandra ’ s Hot Wheels aren ’ t the only things on display in the store . Customers can also browse her ceramic angels and other historic Weatherford memorabilia , including photos from Weatherford ’ s first fire house and truck . Jerry also has an antique carpet installer and vacuum cleaner on display for customers when they come in . It doesn ’ t take long to realize that Jerry ’ s favorite thing about his job is not the flooring , but the people . Even if the Wallers do sell their business in the upcoming years , Jerry still loves to talk to everyone that comes in and show them around , letting them explore the past 50 years of his life .
Jerry ’ s own words outline the reason for their success , “ I like people and enjoy talking to people . I don ’ t think I found a bad apple in the barrel .”
It is that attitude of customer appreciation and their love for their business that has made Town and Country a treasured Weatherford institution .
