Behind the southern charm and slow cadence of Millington pharmacist Dennis Hager is a unique hybrid of small town entrepreneur, philanthropist and politician all rolled into one. After fourteen years as mayor of the town of 500, and current owner of the local pharmacy and fine dining restaurant Two Trees, Hager looks upon his role in all three categories as he helps keep his town active and locals employed while at the same time firmly holding on to a deep sense of community just a ten minute ride from one of the largest Walmart superstores in the country.
The Hager philosophy to keeping it all working comes down to a few simple ingredients including customer service, and more importantly, a climate of hospitality. Dennis highlights those principles when the Spy caught up with him last week at Two Trees.

How extraordinary can a person be?
Dennis answers with love, leadership and hospitality.
He embraces the meaning of gentleman, and makes in better.
