After working in bookkeeping and office management for a variety of businesses and nonprofits over the years, Kristin Cole finally made the leap into entrepreneurship by opening her own small business.

She formalized her business in 2021 and celebrated a ribbon-cutting at her downtown Menomonie office with the Menomonie Area Chamber in early January.
