Locally Family-Owned and Operated Since <Year>

Is this okay? I like the sentiment as a company tagline but not certain if it is grammatically correct.

I would appreciate it if respondents were limited to those with a high level of grammar expertise.

@Region Philbis,

I like it but the subtly in the message is not that the store is locally operated, it's that the family ownership is local. They live in the community. I worry moving locally in the message may impact that meaning.

@snstfd,

to me it implies that the company is both {family-owned and operated} locally...

@snstfd,

I'd take the family component out of the phrase and use it elsewhere in an advertising piece.

Locally owned and operated since <Year>

Leaving family in leads to a very clunky read (and interpretation).

@ehBeth,

I agree but the ownership part doesn't Wink
