Direct ancestor Everest Raymond Watrous began his career working for the Safeway Stores. He began as a produce manager and worked his way through the store. This experience helped him to prepare for his dream career which was owning and operating his own stores. He built The Home and Garden Variety Store at 1700 South and 1700 East in Salt Lake City, Utah which was extremely successful. He also owned and operated The Brighton Village Store in Big Cottonwood Canyon outside of Salt Lake City, Utah. Both stores have since been razed. On the site of the variety store is a gas station and on the site of the canyon store is an overflow lot for skiers.
