Businesses

Nothing here yet. This is where interviews with people running Minnesota businesses will go, once they have been done.

No interviews have been done yet

This page will hold conversations with the people who run Minnesota shops, makers, restaurants and services: how the business works, and what a customer should know. We would rather leave it empty than fill it with made-up quotes or a scraped directory.

Until then, the Places and Living here guides are the useful part of the site.

Editorial note Draft

How we plan to choose

  • Nobody can pay to appear. If that ever changes for sponsorships, each one will be labeled.
  • A named contributor does the interview, and the story says how they are connected to the business.
  • What the owner told us is labeled as what the owner told us. It is not presented as something we confirmed.
  • If a business is connected to the people running this site, the story says so.

This is a plan, not a record. It has not been used yet. How the labels work.
