In this episode of Deep Dives & Light Laughs, we sit down with Dave Petty, the owner and heart behind The Frame Center (a family-run business with over 50 years of history) in Hanover, MA. As a second-generation business owner, Dave has transformed his family’s framing business into a hub for the South Shore arts community.
