Local Women: Roxanne Landes

Proud of her Pub
Co-Owner of REO Town Pub
The REO Town Pub is a small, fun pub on South Washington, with a nice patio out front. Roxanne Landes bought the REO Town Pub along with her husband, Craig, and their best friend Jack Oliver, because they all thought that it would be fun and a good opportunity to run a business together. The pub has many great craft beers and does great monthly food and beer pairings. “We pride ourselves in making the REO Town Pub a safe bar for women to come to,” says Landes. “We work to keep the pub feeling very welcoming.” Landes loves to give back to both her customers and the community that the pub is in; sometimes holding fundraisers for nonprofit organizations. She also volunteers for Meals on Wheels. Not only has she worked to put together this pub with her partners, but Landes has also battled cancer and came out on top. She says that she is much better now. When she’s not working, She enjoys growing vegetables and herbs in her garden at home and spending time with her husband.
