Eric Deniger, founder and chief executive of the Working Person's Store — founded in Lakeville, Indiana, in August 1995, a multichannel retailer of work apparel, footwear and safety gear — stands whole in the dot-com article: sales of $1.8 million in 2004 rising to an estimated $9 million, employment from 12 in June 2005 to nearly 80, an Internet Retailer Hot 100 place announced 6 December 2007, and the seat printed exactly, a retail store in Lakeville with headquarters and technology centre later in South Bend. He is Lakeville's second founder of national record, and the founders count is therefore two foundings, not one: the Newtons' of 1957 and Deniger's of 1995. The leg's present-tense line, with its as-of date: the present chief of the town's great firm is Joerg Burfien, president of Hoosier Racing Tire, named effective 1 January 2020, carried as President and CEO in the company's releases of 2022–2025, with no successor announcement reached through November 2026 — as of November 2026, the date of this section.
