Two honorable mentions were also honored Saturday night, including Dawn Tilghman, who owns Burnett White Tire and Automotive, and Bryan Brushmiller, who owns Burley Oak Brewery in Berlin. Miller owns The Deli, Last Call Liquors, R. Miller Properties, Cafe Perdue, Perdue Pantry and Monkey Barrel. He earned his undergraduate degree from Penn State University. Originally from Annapolis, he moved to Salisbury after college on the advice of his best friend and bought his first business, The Monkey Barrel, a tavern located on Route 13 across from Salisbury University. A few years later, he bought a multifamily housing complex in Princess Anne and R. Miller Properties, LLC, was born. While pursuing a Masters Degree at Salisbury University, Miller opened a delicatessen, aptly named The Deli, right next to the Monkey Barrel, and then he applied for and received the last available license in Wicomico County for private businesses to operate a package goods store and Last Call Liquors was born, right next to the Deli. Due to the success of these businesses, and the quality of food served at The Deli, Miller was invited to bid on a new restaurant to serve breakfast and lunch to hundreds of associates at Perdue's corporate headquarters. He so impressed the executives at Perdue, he was asked to create the Perdue Pantry, a small wholesale market for the associates of Corporate Perdue which sells Perdue, Harvestland, and Coleman Natural products. "Congratulations to Ryan Miller for earning this prestigious award," said MCE CEO Joe Morse. "He exemplifies everything that being in an entrepreneur is all about. He's taken risks, he's worked hard, he's always thinking and acting on his ideas. We are proud to present him this award." The Entrepreneur of the Year Award is named after local businessman Palmer Gillis, founder of Gillis Gilkerson, a local commercial construction company. Nominations were accepted from the three Lower Shore counties, and a panel of business leaders selected the winning nominees.
