Ralph purchased the Big Nail in 2003 because he wanted to ensure that the local icon remained in the metro-Detroit area. The fact that its purchase benefited a local charity (the Allen Park Historical Society) began what has become the Big Nail's mission of bringing awareness to worthy causes through charitable participation.
