Big changes are in store at Freckle Face Gourmet. Co-owners Julie Burnett and Crystal Strong realized they were on to something. With the exception of two really cold weeks, business continued to thrive through the winter at the little coach on the hill. Regular customers knew it was worth it. Crystal and Julie serve about 300 pounds of smoked meat weekly at their current location along with side orders, drinks and some desserts. They are thankful to their loyal customers and excited about gaining new ones as they prepare to move from their little coach to a new location.
“Think of every dollar you spend as a vote.” That sentence from my college economics professor changed how I think of and how I spend my money. When I shop I think about voting for real people with real passion and knowledge of their product. Two years ago I bought a bouquet of fresh flowers from our local floral shop, Bloomers Boutique, as a gift for a co-worker. The flowers were stunningly arranged and stayed beautiful for three weeks on her desk. I’ve been “voting” for Bloomers and the shop owner, Jennifer Miller, ever since.
In 2010, Jeff & Ann Agent moved from Portland, OR to Republic to take over and reopen The Tamarack. Jeff had most recently been working at Wells Fargo as a business analyst, poring over internal processes, procedures and financials. Jeff & his family have always been pizza lovers, and Jeff had been born and raised in Chicago on the traditional “working man’s pizza” of the suburbs. This is the real pizza of the typical Chicagoan, not the fancy, deep-dish designer pizzas of downtown. This pizza style originated many years ago with Chicago being the central distribution hub for all the midwest meats, dairy products and grains before shipping everywhere else.
