100 years of working with pizza

Lila Bauer, who has operated the Luverne Pizza Ranch for 27 years, recently shared this image of herself with three longtime employees to recognize their service. At left, Kevin Elbers is chief delivery driver and started at Pizza Ranch in 1994. Missy Merrill, guest services manager, and Lori DeBeer, primary chicken breader, both started in 1996. “All of them make up a very important part of who we are at Pizza Ranch and live out our vision and mission,” Bauer said. Combined, Bauer and these workers comprise a total of 100 years of working at Pizza Ranch.
