Letter to the Editor from the Crookston Chamber of Commerce –
The Crookston Area Chamber & Visitor’s Bureau would like to remind you of the upcoming annual National Small Business Saturday Day on Saturday, November 24. Small businesses do a variety of important things for a community like creating jobs. The money you spend within your community creates employment opportunities. Shopping at one local business helps other local businesses. When stopping at one business in your community, you’ll most likely stop by others as well. By participating in Small Business Saturday, you’re making sure small businesses thrive and continue to add to the uniqueness of your community.
Crookston has many small businesses that offer a wide variety of unique products. We spoke with small business owner, Shawn Rezac, co-owner of Wonderful Life Foods in Crookston to gain insight from a small business owner. Shawn shared with us, “It’s a fun, exciting and a rewarding experience all wrapped into one being a small business owner. Erin and I were inspired to start our business because of the need of a business that caters to many specific dietary requirements needs such as we do. We believe downtown Crookston is the place to be with all the surrounding business, and people on the go can stop by at their own convenience and grab a healthy bite.”
Many of our local businesses will be taking part in Small Business Saturday, so please shop local not only on this day but every day. Your Crookston Area Chamber and Visitor’s Bureau appreciates all our small business owners. For more information on how you can participate in National Small Business Saturday, call your Chamber office at 218-281-4320 or email us at www.visitcrookston.com.
