They opened branch stores in Springville, Nephi, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Spanish Fork, Heber, American Fork, and Helper. They opened several workshops to accommodate the growth, including for furniture repair, appliance repair, upholstering, etc. There was a fire on July 20, 1963, which did considerable damage to the building, and resulted in the closure of the Dixon Taylor Russell Company.
