“Face to face business relationships are rewarding as well as profitable for both parties. We get referrals from our vendors and we give them right back. It shows we all care about our communities. We have a Community Impact committee which is constantly involved in the effort to support local events and charities. We do this with either employee-owners’ time or financial support to reach the needs in the community.”

Kristi Kothenbeutel, Van Meter Inc.

“Building relationships with local companies has benefited us and spreading the awareness of our brand, spreading awareness of our corporate events and festivals, and at the end of the day, we all win.”

Sammy Petersen, Bloomsbury Farm

“The more that we can keep here and put back into our economy will give us a much better chance for our community to grow.”

Eric VanKerckhov, Allegra

“The easiest way to kickstart a ‘buy local’ mindset is to review your business and what things might be better served locally.”

Kyle Zimmerman, Guide Wealth Partners
