By 1995 the location at 36000 Lake Shore Blvd in Eastlake was ready to serve, and Michael Danaher was brought in to manage the location…thus the Jakubs-Danaher name. Kenneth Schmidt retired in 2011, the Jakubs family then added Stephen Waite to the firm. In 2013, Michael Danaher retired. Stephen then became manager of Eastlake and in 2015 became a partner. |
