WOONSOCKET â Even after 50 years, it still doesnât feel like work to Roger Lapierre.
The 81-year-old founder of the Liâl General chain of convenience stores says his work is his passion.
âI look forward to coming to work. Everyday, itâs something new,â says Lapierre. âYouâre dealing with customers.â
Through the years, Lapierre built more than a business, says Mayor Lisa Baldelli-Hunt. Heâs become an exemplar of a good corporate citizen, reliably providing a service city residents need through thick and thin. He even made sure his stores were open during the Blizzard of â78.
And for his dedication, Baldelli-Hunt recognized Lapierre with a special proclamation this week, honoring him on the occasion of Liâl Generalâs semi-centennial year of operation.
