Ashley started her journey in this business by attending classes and training for Baristas and created her coffee shop by renovating a camper that with her family. She started her business the summer before her senior year of high school and continues to run her shop during the summer months when she isn’t going to college. With it being out of an old camper, she is able to move it around so she can take it to local festivals, which we all love and appreciate. Now before you…

The William’s Company Store
The William’s Company Store is a charming deli, ice cream, and coffee shop as well as a boutique/gift shop. It’s located in Ottertail, MN and is locally owned and run by Marnie and Dan Whitehead. They have some very unique things for sale in their store from kids toys, baby clothes, to local lake themed decor, soaps, kitchen gadgets, and jewelry. And let’s not forget the above mentioned ice cream, coffees/teas, smoothies, wine and beer, and their deli. My personal favorite is an Iced vanilla Chai Tea that Marnie got me hooked on (thanks for that one Marnie). Dan and Marnie moved up here from the the twin cities area…

Summer adventure plans and 4th of July
Hey y’all, I know it’s tough right now to do any big traveling, BUT is there anything fun you have done so far this summer? Have you just been relaxing? Traveled anywhere? Planning on anything fun? I have just been enjoying time at the lake relaxing, kayaking, swimming, and working on some great posts that will be coming soon. I spent my 4th of July doing a boat parade, a classic car cruise, as well as enjoying the fireworks. The lake my family lives on does a boat parade; the lake community comes together and decorates their boats with USA pride, line up, and cruise around the lake showing off…

DeLeo Bros. Pizzeria
If you’re ever looking for a good place with a good vibe, 8-bit nerdy atmosphere and some darn good pizza then look no further than this delicious hole in the wall! DeLeo Bros Pizzeria is located inside the Southdale Mall in Edina, MN. With pizza the size of your face for only a couple of dollars a slice and the 1980s memorabilia plastered all over I can easily say that this is one of my favorite places to chow down and nerd out at. The pizza is always hot when you get in and can only be described as a pizza that you will not get from a Domino’s, Pizza…

Minnesota’s Largest Candy Store
Minnesota’s largest candy store is one “sweet” place you need to put on your places to go list. It was opened in 1978 and is a family owned business. Now what makes this place so neat is a combination of many different things. It is home to candies from all over the world, fun flavors of soda, homemade fudges and pies, jelly, jams, sauces, and all the cool things to see! They have such a cool ceiling in both the silo and the barn, an animatronic band, an old phone booth, and for all my nerds out there a replica Doctor Who T.A.R.D.I.S.! You could spend all day in that…
