Tee'd Off Business Spotlight

Bruce and Salli Salter have always had strong ties to Thomaston, and since moving here, they’ve been eager to connect more deeply with the community.
Bruce grew up in Thomaston, watching the town and Upson County evolve from a small, close-knit community into a place of opportunity. Bruce and Salli both being business majors set out to create a fun, family-friendly business for the community. They both saw a need to preserve that sense of familiarity while incorporating the knowledge they gained during their time living in Warner Robins.
As parents of three kids, they saw a need for more entertainment options, especially for school-age children. That vision led to the creation of Tee’d Off—a space where families can gather, play, and enjoy a variety of activities together. Bruce and Salli opened Tee’d Off earlier this year in January to bring family-friendly entertainment to Thomaston.
Tee’d Off offers over 30 realistic sports games and numerous golf courses from around the world. Their advanced simulator provides real-time feedback to help athletes improve their game. Tee’d Off is reservation-based and caters to both small and large groups. Whether you’re looking to host a party, hang out with friends, or practice your swing, Tee’d Off has something for everyone. They also host events and contests throughout the year.
Tee’d Off is a diverse entertainment space for all ages and skill levels. Come check it out today! Book online, call (706) 938-0009, or email teedoffthomaston@gmail.com to reserve your spot.

Speedi Lube Business Spotlight

Deidre Lawrence and her family have successfully run Speedi Lube since 1997, continuing a proud tradition of friendly, fast, and reliable service. From the moment you pull in, it’s clear this is more than just a business. It’s a family legacy built on hard work, trust, and community values. The Lawrence family knows their way around a car, and they work together to ensure that each customer receives efficient, high-quality service. Whether you’re stopping in for a quick oil change, a propane tank refill, or to grab a bundle of pine straw, you’ll be greeted with a smile and treated like part of the family.
Speedi Lube was originally founded by Deidre’s father, Robert Stevens, a man known for his adventurous spirit and forward-thinking vision. He recognized a need in Thomaston for a convenient, one-stop location where residents could take care of essential tasks without the hassle. His goal was simple: to create a place that was accessible, dependable, and built to serve the everyday needs of the community.
Deidre and her family have proudly continued that mission, honoring Mr. Robert’s legacy by maintaining the same level of care, dedication, and hometown hospitality that he established. For over two decades, Speedi Lube has been a trusted name in Thomaston—and with the Lawrence family at the helm, it’s set to continue that legacy for many years to come.
