Crown American Associates owns and operates the Holiday Inn Johnstown-Downtown and it’s onsite restaurant, Harrigan’s Café & Wine Deck. The Holiday Inn Downtown Johnstown opened in May 1973 as a Sheraton Hotel. Frank Pasquerilla, then owner of Crown Construction Company, began his business in 1965 as a small, family run construction company. Over the next decade Crown American purchased and developed several hotels and shopping malls on the east coast and became one of the mid-Atlantic’s top hotel management and development corporations. In March 1984 the Sheraton celebrated a grand re-opening as the Holiday Inn Johnstown-Downtown. The hotel has been the focal point of gala events, elegant dinners, and meetings for over 40 years. The hotel has hosted several celebrities, sports stars, and elected officials over the decades. Stars like Sofia Loren, Paul Neumann, Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, Jay Leno, Lucille Ball, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Kelly Clarkson, Aerosmith, Ozzy Osborne, Mario Lemieux, and countless athletes have stayed here. A wide variety of elected officials have stayed at the hotel as well. Johnstown received much publicity after the famed films Slapshot and All The Right Moves were filmed in the City and surrounding areas. Harrigan’s Café & Wine Deck, a Wine Spectator ward-winning restaurant, has always been a gathering spot for important business meetings and wonderful nights out in the City. Inspired by their trip to the 1972 Olympics in Munich, Frank Pasquerilla and his son Mark, current owner of Crown American Associates, themed the restaurant as the Alpine Dining Room & Bavarian Lounge. Over the years, the Bavarian theme faded to make way for a fine dining experience. During Johnstown’s third disastrous flood in July 1977, the Holiday Inn sustained much damage, the brunt of which affected the kitchen and restaurant. As workers pumped mud out of the restaurant through a hole in the wall, the hotel and restaurant never closed. Instead, the hotel and restaurant stayed open to house and feed the hundreds of the critical emergency personnel who worked around the clock to stabilize the City. As a leader in the hospitality industry for over forty years, our proud tradition of hospitality continues. The dedication and commitment to Johnstown established by the Pasquerilla family lives on today. With the best practices of our organization and the best efforts of our employees, Crown American Associates is committed to our mission and values as we provide the best service to our guests and strive to be the best hospitality provider in the region.

Our mission as an independent community bank has remained unchanged for over 125 years. We are committed to providing excellent service and competitive products as well as maintaining a high profile in the growth and economic development of the markets we serve. In 1889, the town of Somerset, described by a newspaper at that time as “an aggressive mountain town”, was growing with a population of almost 4,000. Businessmen and community leaders realized the emerging need for a local bank if their community was to continue to thrive. Congressman and Civil War veteran Edward Scull, and the fourth of his six sons, George R. Scull, turned that vision into a reality when they established what was to become Somerset Trust Company. That independent community vision still exists today at Somerset Trust. Now under the leadership and guidance of the fifth generation of the Scull family, the bank has endeavored to enhance the traditional qualities of community banking by effectively using technology to support excellent service to customers. “At Somerset Trust Company, we are committed to understanding our customers, our communities and one another in order to not only meet their banking needs, but to exceed expectations every day.”

Choose Jerry Thomas Land Surveying and you will choose a team with decades of experience that can provide you with thorough, accurate work and complete the job quickly and efficiently.

In the majority of cases, Jerry Thomas Land Surveying will discover errors and discrepancies in existing deeds. Experience and Accuracy are critical for subdivision surveys. So many project elements depend on the quality of the survey work: property lines, water, sewer and electrical installations, streets and driveways, you name it.

It began in a family kitchen in 1934. Four Generations of Family Ownership. Our family business started in 1934 in the Walnut Grove area, and is still located at the same chocolate factory where we manufacture our chocolates today. Thomas and Helen O’Shea started making homemade chocolates during the depression. Tom worked for Penn Traffic Kitchen, and one day he and his wife, Helen decided to start their own chocolate business. When the opportunity was right, they purchased property next to their home and built a small chocolate factory and penny candy store. It was a local tradition for many of the school kids to save up their pennies and stop in for a chocolate treat. Each week Helen would take a bus downtown to drop off samples and visit office buildings and hand out samples of their chocolates. She then went back the next day and picked up orders for the homemade chocolates to be delivered each week. As the demand for candy grew they built a small store where they could cook and hand-dip their fresh-made chocolates. Soon the business began to grow. In the 1960s, Bob O’Shea and his wife, Kay continued the family business as the second-generation owners. They opened up a second store in the Geistown shopping Center. Bob & Kay purchased Penn Traffic Candy in 1977, and expanded the line of chocolates to include, the famous coconut cream Penn pigs. They also purchased Kuhn Coffee company and its salted nuts business. Store number three opened, when Russ and Karen (O’Shea) Brubaker took over operations of the business. They opened a store in Westmont where their line of chocolates is still growing out of the Westwood plaza. Here they serve the surrounding communities and this bedroom community with wide assortment of chocolates. Russ & Karen started making their own cream and butter fudge in six different flavors. They have expanded their business beyond the borders of Johnstown, Pennsylvania. They now ship their chocolates all over the United States with the development of an online store. Karen Brubaker believes that love, experience, and a desire to keep the O’Shea’s name going will keep the business passing from generation to generation. Karen’s son Matt Brubaker and his wife Kristy recently joined the family business in 2015. They have recently relocated back to the area and joined the family business to ensure decades of continued growth of O’Shea’s Candies. Our family is passionate about chocolate and our quality and old -fashioned techniques are key to our success. Today, four generations later, their grandchildren and great-grandchildren are still making these delicious candies. We continue to make local deliveries in the Johnstown area and mail orders to customers in the United States. Thank you for making us part of your family.
