Edward Jones

When did this business open?:
Edward Jones got its start in 1922 when Edward D. Jones Sr. founded the firm that bears his name. For more than 50 years, Edward Jones has brought its unique brand of service to communities across the country. Edward Jones' one-broker office strategy runs counter to that of virtually every other major securities firm in the United States. Ted Jones believed in bringing Wall Street to Main Street. This is why our office is the only major financial firm in Talent. Our Talent office was opened in 2002 and I took over the office in 2005. My assistant, Shelli Davis, joined the firm in 2010 and has been instrumental in helping me build a very successful business here in Talent.

Video Quick

A Talent landmark, Video Quick first opened for business 26 years ago.
As automation and computers continue to speed up our already busy lives, it is refreshing to know businesses such as this are alive and well here in Talent.
"We are quickly becoming very unique, as large and small video stores are closing at a rapid pace across the country," said Curt Thompson, who took over ownership in 2004. "But people still want the experience of browsing and talking to our clerks. And we plan to fill that need for as long as possible."

Meet Dr. Mehdi Ghavam of Talent Dental

For Rogue Valley native Mehdi Ghavam, D.M.D., it was a smooth and easy transition taking over the dental practice located at 106 N. Market Street here in Talent. Dr. Dan Jackson first opened Talent Dental three decades ago, and Dr. Ghavam had been practicing with him for the past nine years.
"I have known Dr. Jackson for thirty years," Dr. Ghavam said. "As I was finishing dental school, he was looking for an associate dentist. We had been in touch throughout my dental school years, and I jumped at the opportunity to return to Southern Oregon and serve the community that had served me so well. Talent is such a fantastic place to live, work and raise a family."

Julek’s Polish Kitchen

Julek's Polish Kitchen is a family run establishment that opened here in Talent in late September, 2012. Owner Bogusia Antczak thinks of Julek's as more of a family kitchen rather than a restaurant. She cooks food the old-fashioned way, without microwaves, preservatives or big delivery trucks. They shop local when possible and make sure to support local growers and farmers. Her food is pure and simple, and all made in Julek's kitchen.

Stained Glass Masters

The name of the business says it all. Ian and Amy Stark, owners of Stained Glass Masters located at 250 E. Wagner Street (next to Downtowne Coffee), take great pride in their craft. "If you choose to use our services, you can expect the highest quality stained glass product that money can buy, and guaranteed one of a kind design with cutting edge technique and old world craftsmanship," Ian said.
Ian, a native to the Rogue Valley, moved to Portland after high school where he met his future wife Amy.
