What Wisconsin small business needs now - Wisconsin Examiner
Small business owners, workers and communities across Wisconsin support the Badger bounceback budget put forward by Governor Tony Evers. Here's why.
First, it prioritizes Main Street Wisconsin with $200 million in additional support, on top of the $600 million of federal funds from the American Rescue Plan. Some businesses were able to pivot and depending on the sector some did just fine. For others, the past year has been devastating. For example, wedding venues. You can't “pivot” if your entire business model is bringing people together for large group events.

Then and Now: Coborn’s Celebrating 100 Years in Business | KNSI
(KNSI) — St. Cloud-based Coborn’s, Incorporated is celebrating the company’s 100th year in business in 2021.
Chester Coborn started the company, and his two sons also got involved. Duke Coborn had six children, four of them boys: Bob, Dan, Bill, and Ron. That is where the Coborn’s Four Brothers brand name comes from.
From 1921 to 1963, there was just the one Coborn’s location in Sauk Rapids, but as the four brothers became involved, it became difficult to feed four families with just one store, so they began to grow the company. The second Coborn’s was opened after they bought a Red Owl store in Foley, and another after purchasing a building on 5th Avenue South by St. Cloud State University. Until 1972, it was just those three stores.

Many more are starting to offer services to people interested in buying Bitcoin or to companies that want to hold it or accept it for payments.

Helping to push Bitcoin further into the mainstream have been traditional Wall Street institutions that are figuring out how to update their current systems to offer the same services for crypto that they do for cash.

Business owners wait to start clean-up after fire | WCIA.com
PAWNEE, Ill. (WCIA) — The wreckage left behind at the Pawnee village square still remains, and it may take a while for the clean up to start.
Insurance adjustors are needing a long time to assess the damage, and since the buildings were all over 100 years old, they have to be checked for asbestos.
The fire Tuesday totally destroyed 4 buildings on the village square. Business owners in Pawnee are letting the dust settle for now, but when they feel like it’s time, they will jump into action to help the community.
