Show Notes
This week on the podcast we’re in Lenox, Iowa (pop. 1,407) with Bonnie Ramsey of Ramsey’s Market and Ramsey’s Ace Hardware. Bonnie’s telling us all about how she and her husband Theo have turned a grocery store into an entertainment business that’s focused on providing a unique, one-of-a-kind experience for their customers. We also talk about why grocery stores are so important for our rural communities, how they compete against the big box stores in a small, rural town, and how they opened the first Ace Hardware in the US with a bar - where you can literally have a beer and buy a lawnmower at the same time.
You’ll love Bonnie’s heart for this community and her passion to give back. It really shines through in everything she and Theo are doing. She also has a great perspective on how to set your retail business apart and stay relevant in our rural communities. Bonnie and Theo truly are making Lenox a fun destination and it’s one you’ll want to put on the list for your next road trip.
