Travel Backroads

As fast as Americans and visitors zoom by on our state and county highways, we miss out on some of Midwest’s choicest businesses, whether they are eateries, coffee shops, clothing, ammunition, fishing, homemade, quilt, specialty shops and more. Often times, tourists are missing the local flavor of the communities they are passing.

With my fierce loyalty to help entrepreneurs, I realized that many private businesses, small or large, struggle to stay afloat while trying to help their communities. Entrepreneurs are risk takers and dreamers. I wanted to find a way to alert travelers to these "diamonds in the rough" in South Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, North Dakota, Wyoming, and Montana. Businesses are on or off the beaten path and give color to their local communities. They add to the infrastructure and help drive the economy of their communities. My dream soon developed into wanting to pull travelers off the highway to shop at those local businesses and bring dollars into a community. I wanted to find ways to help increase sales and help communities. In the 21st century, *“collaboration” and *“co-opetition” help businesses work together to pull those travelers into their communities. I’ve added definitions at the bottom of my story here.
