Angie Marie's Home Decor
"My mission was always to have a store that didn’t feel like a store. To have people walk in and feel like they were visiting a friend's home. I love the small town shops I visit that feel like that when I walk in and I wanted to create that here."
- Angie Hatch, Owner

Coffee Sknobs
"We are military. We have been away from family. We have felt the loneliness that comes with not being connected. We made it our mission to be a connection spot for military members and their families during the time that they are stationed here."
-Craig & Maggie Coppenbarger, Owners

121 Farmhouse Kitchen

"What started out in 2013 as an in home bakery hobby has turned into a bakery and market. We run a full service bakery, with a Self Service Honor Market Open 365 days a year."
-AshLand Bell, Owner
Rock Island Cafe

"We're everyone's hometown café. In addition to our menu, we offer daily specials and desserts. We're just off the Rock Island trail and love to meet people from all over that use the trail."
-Becky Clear, Owner
Jack's Legacy Pizza & Golf
"Family/Veteran owned and operated business, we offer hand tossed Pizza made with the freshest ingredients using a 60+ year family recipe. Dough and Sauce made in house to ensure the freshest product possible. We paired the Pizza with a State of the Art "FullSwing" Golf Simulator for the best of both worlds."
-Joe Eccleton, Owner
All-Starz Barbershop
"Getting started as a small business owner is by far a huge leap, but with the proper resources and community based organizations that help small business owners build great foundations for their business, it’s hard to lose."
-Willie Taylor, Owner

Photo Gym

"I enjoy the challenge of finding new ways to help people with photo and video issues. It's interesting to hear the stories they have to tell about their memories and help them enjoy and share those stories."
-Kathy Baldridge, Owner
Sweet Little Things Bakery

"I measure my success by the number of happy customers, and newly formed relationships with these customers. I don't want to just bake and send the items out the door, I enjoy getting to know people and bake for them often."
-Kathleen Stockton, Owner

Three Trees Workshop
"After a decade of transition and travel, we were eager to settle closer to family, especially since we were then expecting our first child. It seemed the perfect time to act on a dream we'd had--a full time creative business based on Nathan's love for woodworking and our desire to make beautiful, useful things. And Three Trees Workshop was born."
-Nathan & Cynthia Epp, Owners
Curb Appeal Lawn & Landscaping

"In the beginning it was just going to be a solo operation; now it has evolved into employing 5 others and myself."
-Shawn Majkowski, Owner
Green Meadows Alpaca Ranch
"We are a sanctuary, but we never ask for out right donations. Instead we help the animals pay for their own care, by hosting the Farm Stay and Paca Picnic tours."
-Melissa Ashley, Owner
