LISA TOBIN HEALEY
OWNER

Lisa graduated from Brighton High School, lettered in gymnastics, and graduated from Dennison University in Ohio where she played varsity rugby. She studied in London, graduating with a B.A. in literature, spending summers in France. She received a Masters degree in French literature from the University of Rochester. For many years she taught English as a second language to immigrants to the United States. Needless to say, she has an affinity for foreign languages and French wine. In 1987 she opened Lisa’s Liquor Barn with the goal of not being the biggest, but the best (and offering the greatest customer service).
