We had the pleasure of celebrating Image360 Lebanon with a special Ribbon Cutting on March 25. The ceremony was conducted by the Lebanon Wilson County Chamber of Commerce. This event was not only a celebration of new beginnings but also a tribute to the hard work and dedication of Rick & Debbie Stewart, who have been the driving force behind Image360 for years. As they step into retirement, we thank them for their commitment to our community and their years of service!

Exciting changes are ahead as Dorie & Tim Mitchell have taken the helm as the new owners. While the leadership is changing, the dedicated team remains the same, continuing to provide top-quality custom signs and visual communication solutions. What makes this transition even more special is that the building itself was originally built by Dorie’s family and has remained in her family throughout the years — making this truly a full-circle moment!

From eye-catching signage to full-scale branding solutions, Image360 is your full-service graphics partner, helping businesses make a lasting impact. We are thrilled to celebrate this next chapter and look forward to their continued success in Wilson County!

Congratulations to Dorie, Tim, and the entire Image360 team, and a heartfelt thank you to Rick & Debbie for their years of dedication!
