Ballwin Family Seen As 'Lion's Choice' Foundation

Donna Fahey Hollie and her brother, Rich Fahey, are an institution at the restaurant on Manchester Road in Ballwin.

For one family in Ballwin, has been more than a favorite local spot for lunch or a quick dinner—it's become a workplace spanning generations.

“I know a lot of people think it's stupid to work in fast food,” Christie Hollie recently told the St Louis Post-Dispatch. “But during the recession and when the housing bubble burst, I didn't have to worry about my job.”

And Hollie is hardly alone. Her mother, Donna Fahey Hollie, started working at the Ballwin restaurant in 1968 when it was known as Red Lion Beef House, the Post-Dispatch wrote. Her brother, Rich Fahey, followed soon after. Now Donna, 64, is joined by her daughters, Shannon Hollie and Christie Hollie, as well.
