"One of the best parts about owning a business in a small town is actually knowing the people you’re serving. These are our neighbors, our regulars, and the community that has supported us from day one. Going from a food truck to a storefront in downtown Biwabik was a big leap, but it felt like the right place to do it. The City of Biwabik made it easy to take the next step. With everything happening around Giants Ridge and all the local events, there’s a great mix of locals and visitors coming through. We’re just getting started."

" The Iron Range is rapidly emerging as a fertile ground for entrepreneurs. These communities offer a uniquely supportive, community-driven environment that actively encourages innovation and helps new ventures flourish. Key organizations like Iron Range Resources and the Small Business Development Center are here to help. "

" Moving to Virginia to work at my family’s candy store has been a great experience. Getting involved in the local community and meeting visitors from all across the country has made it so rewarding. We recently opened a cocktail bar next door called The Arrowhead, with community events like bingo, trivia, and live music performances from local musicians. Partnering with the city, Discover the Range, and other small businesses to do the block party and the Food Truck Festival has been wonderful. We love being part of this community. "
