Every community across northern Minnesota is decidedly unique, and local business always lies at the heart. From the one-of-a-kind mom & pop shops on main street to the corporations that drive local economies, exploring new ideas and driving growth for existing businesses is the key to regional success.
Up here, we believe in buying local whenever possible. We know that entrepreneurs create new opportunities. We support those who are making a difference in the community, one new idea at a time.
