Empire Spray Service, Inc. is a family-owned business established in 1974, rooted in the community of Spokane and the surrounding Inland Empire. Founded by Marvin and Dan Hunter in the basement of their home, the company launched with a single tanker truck and a commitment to exceptional customer service. Over the years, Empire Spray has expanded its services to include tree and shrub care, weed control, insect pest management, and specially designed programs for fruit and pasture care.
With a strong emphasis on building lasting customer relationships, the Hunters cultivated respect within the community, leading to steady growth and the addition of new team members, including brother Vern and later, the next generation of Hunters. The company's longevity is a testament to its adaptability and strong work ethic, allowing it to navigate the challenges of economic downturns effectively.
Today, the company is led by Jenni Hunter-Ham, the daughter of the late Dan Hunter, alongside her husband Greg and their two sons, Jared and Harlan. This fourth generation of the Hunter family continues to uphold the business's legacy, embracing their shared history in the horticultural field and the values of personalized service and community engagement.
Empire Spray's dedication to quality is reflected in its word-of-mouth reputation, which remains crucial in Spokane's business landscape. The family is bringing the company into the digital age by sharing their services and knowledge online, welcoming both returning clients and newcomers alike. Empire Spray Service is not just a business; it represents a commitment to personal connections, community service, and environmental stewardship across Spokane County.
