Meet Motel Tipton’s Owners and Managers
Meet the Owners ~ The Willards
On March 1, 2022 the motel was purchased by Shelley and Blake Willard via their business TipInn, LLC who are the 100% Owners. They hail from Okotoks, Alberta, Canada. What brought them to Tipton? In the fall of 2021, they visited Blake’s daughter and her new husband who reside in Tipton. Together, they found that the vacant motel was for sale. One thing lead to another and an offer to purchase was submitted… knowing that massive amounts of work had to be done to update the motel to today’s standards. Extensive renovations were completed and Motel Tipton was transformed into a “place of comfort and pride”.
