Can Retail be Restored?
Trends | Though it has lost a lot of stores, downtown Minneapolis may have what it needs—except for a retail advocate.
Turning Points
People & Companies | Ten Minnesota achievers tell their stories of great and often sudden changes, and how these unexpected turns drove their personal and professional success.
Andy Redleaf’s Many Happy Returns
People & Companies | The hedge fund industry is back—sort of—and Redleaf, the contrarian mind behind Whitebox Advisors, has been trouncing industry benchmarks.
Parasole’s Endless Appetite
People & Companies | The company means to feed its development side by positioning more of its concepts for sale. The upshot: Parasole will double its number of restaurants in the next five years.
The Waves He Made
People & Companies | Up till the day he retired in October, stockbroker Brady Benson held on to the traditional commission model he followed throughout his 52-year-career: doing his own research and offering his picks to loyal clients. His industry changed; he didn’t. Along the way, he helped launch numerous Minnesota companies.
At Cool Clean Technologies, CO2 Is the Solution, Not the Problem
People & Companies | An Eagan company holds more than 80 patents that put the greenhouse gas to good use.
The Dish on Stanley Hubbard
People & Companies | Satellite TV’s big innovator is a quiet iconoclast, and he’s got a new kind of venture in the air.
Under the Influence
Industries & Trends | Pocket Hercules may be the new model ad agency. It’s small, run by seasoned veterans, and works directly with client decision makers, without layers and endless meetings. It seeks to reach the community around a brand. And it sells its own beer.
LA Fitness Versus Life Time Fitness
People & Companies | The California company is making inroads in Life Time’s headquarters market and adding clubs faster. But Life Time CEO Bahram Akradi believes his slow-growth strategy will ultimately win out.
Daily Video Tips from Small Business School
Multimedia | Producer Hattie Bryant invites you to watch a 1-4 minute video tip each day about best business practices from the weekly television show, Small Business School.
