By While businesses that last generations are rare, Columbia is host to a number of companies that have served mid-Missouri throughout the ages. They have survived the ups and downs of business cycles, but they keep their doors open and customers keep coming for lifetimes. Three local businesses — Allen’s Flowers, Ernie’s Cafe & Steakhouse and Booches — have become a part of the business fabric of mid-Missouri. Each of these businesses has beaten the odds and they all have one thing in common: They continue doing something right that brings customers, and eventually, the children of customers, back for more.
