The backstory
According to previous Community Impact reporting, Keller City Council approved a specific use permit for Houghton Horns to operate an entertainment facility at 137 Hill St. in Old Town Keller during its Oct. 15 meeting.
The business was founded by Dennis and Karen Houghton, who have added Keller residents Derek and Kacie Wright to the ownership group.
According to its website, Houghton Horns has been selling and servicing brass instruments in Keller since 1985 as Dennis’ Horn Shop, repairing and cleaning instruments. In 2006, it was renamed Houghton Horns.
