You can get lost in her gaze after you put it in park. When you’re behind the wheel, your focus should always be on the road.

Mixologist of the Month Favorite Part of JJ’s Wine, Spirits & Cigars: The staff. They’re

the reason I leave work with a smile every day.

What’s your Drink of Choice?: Twilight with Noah. I may be

biased though; I did invent the drink.

What Inspired You to Get into this Industry? My boss, Tom

Slattery. Hearing about his love for whiskey & his passion for the craft made me want to learn as much as I could. I wanted to be able to create something that might ignite that passion in someone else.

What’s Something People Should Know About JJ’s?

There’s more to us than meets the eye. With a liquor store, bar, kitchen, event space, axe throwing, and more, we’ve got something for everyone.

What kind of events does JJ’s host? We host all kinds of events. Wedding rehearsals, reunions, birthday parties, office parties and meetings—the options are endless. Our event staff and space are multifaceted and accommodating to any number of events.

What’s Your Favorite South Dakota Experience?

Exploring the Black Hills on foot for the first time with my brothers when we were kids.

What’s your Favorite Part of Sioux Falls?

Summertime on the bike trails. For me, nothing beats the scenery and the sense of accomplishment after completing a full circle ride around the city.

What’s your Favorite Downtime Activity? Playing

sand volleyball with family & friends.

Brushing Success

ART + DESIGN

“Arts South Dakota is a service organization, and its mission is to advance the arts for South Dakota and our visitors by advocating, educating, and connecting,” Jim Speirs executive director of Arts South Dakota told 605. Promoting and supporting the arts throughout the state has been at the forefront of Arts South Dakota’s mission to aid in professional development, advocacy, lobbying, and promotional efforts. “It’s what we like to call connecting people to the arts,” shared Speirs. “We let the people of South Dakota know about the dynamic and robust arts community we have in the state.” One notable initiative that has contributed significantly to this mission is the Arts & Economic Prosperity Study 6 [AEP6]. This study, led nationally by Americans for the Arts, and locally by Arts South Dakota has played a crucial role in sharing the economic impact data on the non-profit arts in South Dakota. “It studies the number of employees, expenditures, tax revenue, and local tax revenue generated,” said Speirs. Throughout the fiscal year 2022, the nonprofit arts and culture sector generated $362,987,163 in economic activity throughout South Dakota. Written by Gabby Sudenga + Photos by Alana Snyder & Cailyn Patterson

T H E B U S I N E S S I S S U E februar y 2024

" The arts have special a long & special history in Rapid numerous City. The numerous arts organizations in the community not only provide our citizens with great opportunities opportunities great to showcase their talents, but also provide visitors of all ages with memorable memorable enriching moments & enriching experiences. The recent findings from the Arts & Economic Prosperity study reveal the arts not only enhance enhance our quality of life, but also have a significant significant impact on our local economy. " Mayor Jason Salamun, City of Rapid City

16 | 605MAGAZINE.COM

“The other area of research was conducted through audience surveys,” Speirs stated. “For patrons attending arts events in their communities, volunteers would survey how far they traveled and what expenses aside from ticket prices were incurred.” From that data, Arts South Dakota was able to determine the state-wide average attendee dollar amount spent per arts event, which was $35.79 a person. The next step was to identify how out of town visitors influence the amount they spend attending arts events. For non-locals, the average attendee dollar

amount spent was $74.14. Not only was the study able to conclude the average spent at the events, but it also recorded total attendance. Speirs shares the volunteers identified the number of visitors who traveled from another county or up to 100 miles away. “This study gives you a clear picture of the significance of tourism as it relates to art experiences and the significance of people traveling to experience arts in your community,” he added.

Jacqui Dietrich

In addition to the statewide study, AEP6 focused on five city arts councils throughout South Dakota: Aberdeen, Brookings, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, and Yankton. Throughout those five arts councils, the study extrapolated total expenditures and total employment. “For Sioux Falls specifically, we saw our numbers increase within job employment here; the arts employ 2,156 people,” said Kellen Boice, executive director of the Sioux Falls Arts Council. In Sioux Falls the study found that the arts and culture nonprofits make an annual economic impact of $126,108,085. As for Rapid City, Jacqui Dietrich, executive director of the Rapid City Arts Council shares that their sector supports 3,296 jobs and makes an annual economic impact of $204,105,202. “The future of our communities depends on arts and culture as an economic driver, as a creative community supports our local employers in professional recruitment, attracts visitors, and encourages local spending,” said Dietrich. With South Dakota hosting a strong, close-knit arts community, art is gaining more attention as a driving force of tourism. “We’ve known it since the 1930s. Tourism started in South Dakota from a large sculpture in the Black Hills,” shared Speirs. “It’s been a foundational element of tourism since day one, but now we’re starting to see a greater awareness and appreciation for the role the arts play in attracting visitors.”

Artistic Statistics In South Dakota, the non-profit arts and cultural sector provided: • 6,054 jobs • 6,455,088 attendees to arts and cultural events

The communities throughout the state have individual nonprofit art organizations and events that drive visitors to experience artistic and cultural opportunities time and time again. “Within Rapid City, at least 90 art organizations are involved in those presentations,” said Dietrich. Events such as the Black Hills Pow Wow draw audiences from around the country, while the semi-professional symphony employs 90 musicians. Local businesses like Racing Magpie, The Journey Museum & Learning Center, and the Suzie Cappa Art Center serve as cultural and artistic amenities, as live music performed by local talent is a popular source of entertainment. “The Dahl Arts Center is rooted in our culture of resilience and is a premier venue for regional artists, with dozens of exhibitions and performances catering to locals and visitors year-round,” said Dietrich. In Sioux Falls, the Levitt at the Falls aims to build connections through music by gathering the diverse community and fostering social interactions among people of all ages and backgrounds. The Washington Pavilion serves to deliver memorable experiences that entertain, educate, and enrich through live performances, art galleries, hands-on science exhibits, and creative educational opportunities. “The Arc of Dreams was an initiative from the Sculpture Walk Sioux Falls,” shared Boice. “It’s for everyone and it’s a unique piece of art that is becoming a staple in our community.”

The state of South Dakota has always valued cultural attractions and creative enterprises to drive economic growth. AEP6 analyzes the impact of the arts non-profit industry on the state's economy and illustrates its importance to citizens. “Art is so personal and is truly what makes our communities the way they are,” expressed Speirs. “It’s the arts that create character, that’s what defines the uniqueness of our communities. The impact is beyond words.” The audience survey revealed the overwhelming appreciation of arts and cultural opportunities in South Dakota.

It was identified that 91% of respondents feel pride in their community or neighborhood's arts offerings, while 88% would feel a sense of loss if cultural opportunities were not available. In addition, 87% of respondents said arts attendance contributes to the preservation of creative activities and venues. “Our goal at Arts South Dakota is to connect and continue to have every South Dakotan aware of the role that art plays in their lives and communities,” said Speirs.

Situated at 605 East 8th Street in downtown Sioux Falls is a building that is more than meets the eye. Monick Yards, a sweeping 12,000-square-foot event venue, fills the space of the former pipe supply company, Monick Pipe. The venue is a partnership between the owners of Carpenter Bar, Highball Bar, The Treasury at Hotel on Phillips, and the owners of sister event venues, Convolo and Casetta. “Partners Anne and Dustin Haber came across this building, and Dustin saw the potential for it to become an event space,” said Amy Boes, venue director. “The building was going to be torn down with the plan of building something new, but it just didn’t work out,” Anne continued. For the partnered owners, the space wasn’t the only aspect they loved about the building. “It wasn’t only the space, but the location of the building establishing the opportunity to introduce an event venue in downtown Sioux Falls,” shared beverage director Brian White. A full renovation of the interior and exterior of the building was underway when Boes and Angela Merritt were introduced to the project.

“The aesthetic at Amy and Angela’s other businesses was something that fit with our vision,” said White. “It was a great fit when these two came in on the facility side,” added Anne. “They had prior relationships with existing event owners, and that was a big thing for us.” Merritt continued, “We knew of the great job they do with their bars aesthetically and it all seemed to line up.” The ascended ceilings are adorned with original wood features and expansive frosted windows, which provide a private, airy, and industrial space. The raw aesthetic is softened by thoughtful touches like curated furniture and minimalist décor. Warm lighting was added to create a welcoming and elegant ambiance.

The space itself is versatile, divided into two distinct areas: The Grand Hall and The Reception Hall. The Grand Hall is designed to host wedding ceremonies with an open layout that’s bathed in natural light and polished concrete floors, while The Reception Hall is suited specifically for hosting wedding receptions, cocktail hours, and dancing. The interconnecting halls create a seamless flow of events and also offer a quick change of scenery for hosts and guests. Boes adds that for corporate events, The Grand Hall and Reception Hall can be kept separated to fit the host's needs and guest count. For brides and grooms, designated suites the White Room and Green Room are the perfect spaces to prepare for the big day. The bridal suite includes five getting-ready stations, a coffee machine, a mini fridge, and a lounging area, Merritt shares. “There’s enough space for whole bridal parties because they’re there for the entire day, so it’s nice to have that landing spot for them,” she added.

With such simplicity, event hosts have a wide range of options for customizing their events. “We wanted to create something that's interesting enough on its own and can be highlighted with décor,” said Merritt. Additionally, The Grand and Reception Halls are equipped with built-in full bars operated by the mixologists of Carpenter Bar, Highball Bar, and The Treasury. Monick Yards offers custom bar offerings and cocktail packages that are curated by a team of cocktail enthusiasts. “We focus on providing prompt service, quality service, and quality cocktails and beverages at our three locations, and we want to make sure we deliver that at Monick as well,” explained beverage director Michael Mohr. With White and Mohr’s 14 years of combined experience, the pair is ready to assemble a special cocktail menu, a champagne tower, custom cocktail selections, and more for any size event. “We make sure that we’re offering things that are feasible for the masses, but also ensuring that we can provide a fun and unique cocktail experience for all of our guests that come through,” said Mohr. “On top of that we can still offer the basics,” added White. “We’re not above bringing in a keg of Coors Light to fit everyone's needs; we can tailor to anything the customer wants.” T H E B U S I N E S S I S S U E februar y 2024

A special aspect of Monick Yards is the abundant size for being in downtown Sioux Falls. “When people drive by they don’t see how large the space is,” stated Anne. “When they get into the venue they see that it’s so different on the inside. What you’ll find here is shocking.” Merritt and Boes offer monthly Sip and Sees, which are events to welcome the community and future renters to see the space and ask questions. Boes described, “It’s a great opportunity for people to not peek through the windows, come ask questions, and it’s amazing for people who’ve already booked events with us to keep coming in as they’re going through their design process.”

Gone are the days of thinking outside the box. In Box Elder, the action is happening inside it. The Box Elder Events Center, or “The Box,” is the Midwest’s newest state-of-the-art facility serving as the backdrop for events of all shapes and sizes on the outskirts of Rapid City and Box Elder. “We want to provide a world-class event venue for whatever event you want to host,” said general manager Adam Patton. “We’re essentially an empty box,” he continued. The Box boasts over 60,000 square feet of versatile space, catering to everything from intimate gatherings to large athletic tournaments. The building is complemented with sleek, modern architecture with escalated ceilings and flexible spaces. The Box features not one, but two main event areas: the Ellsworth Salon and the Lancer Ballroom. “The Ellsworth is our largest space, it’s big enough for three full-size basketball courts or four full volleyball courts,” explained Patton. The 22,000-square-foot ballroom is multifaceted, ready to accommodate large-scale conferences, trade shows, or galas for up to over 3,000 people.

What's in the box? The Box's flexible event space can be split into different floor plans.

Patton shares that The Box is capable of accommodating the space to fit the event's aesthetic. “We can carpet it or put our tarps down to turn it into a convention space or a trade show,” shared Patton. “When the carpet is down, it looks elegant.” The Lancer sits as the second-largest area in The Box, equipped to host conference speakers, receptions, and luncheons. “The Lancer Ballroom can seat up to 220 people and can be used for whatever the client is thinking,” Patton said. “It’s a very versatile space.” The Ellsworth and Lancer can be divided into different floor plans to accommodate the number and size of upcoming events. It doesn’t stop there, as break-out rooms and meeting areas are available in the Raider Rooms and Spirit Room for low-scale events such as birthday parties, before-game team huddles, and intimate receptions.

Adam Patton In addition to its adaptable spaces, The Box offers an in-house, full-service catering kitchen run by talented chefs and culinary teams. Patton shares that there are various menus available to choose from elegant plated meals, and large buffet selections, to a tournament menu for all sporting events. The Box ensures that each meal is served in an artful blend of simple, yet contemporary flavors that are created to fit everyone’s taste and budget. “We’ve got everything you need from a food and beverage standpoint,” said Patton. The kitchen and staff ensure that every detail is covered to the smallest bite. But The Box isn’t just about functionality, it’s about creating experiences. The venue's state-of-the-art A/V technology is sure to create a memorable event. The technology equips hosts with intelligent audio, projected scoreboards, and visual effects, like smooth machines, lightning themes, and video projection. “With these capabilities, we can create a fun tournament with kids by turning on our smoke and sparkler machine,” shared Patton. The Box also has livestream capabilities; the Ellsworth Salon comes equipped with streaming cameras all around the ballroom. This allows family and friends to watch any function from anywhere they would like, should the tournament or event coordinator want to take advantage of this incredible feature.

The Box offers customizable audio and visual options to add an extra element to their events.

The possibilities are endless, thanks to the venue’s dedicated team of event professionals.

“We’re going to do whatever we can to accommodate your requests,” said Patton.

“We can customize the building from a layout perspective to whatever the guests need,” said Patton.

“We have a highly skilled team paired with years of experience in this specific field,” mused Patton. “We want your event to go off without a hitch, your tournament to run as smoothly as possible, and want your wedding to be perfect.”

Right off the interstate, the Box is nestled within a campus of hotels, making it ideal for event guests who wish to explore all that Rapid City has to offer.

“We’re also able to add a theme to the building. We have control over the lights, so if a couple wants to add lights to their wedding, we can change the lights to their set colors, which can set the tone for the event,” he added.

During events, staff are easily identifiable with vests and ties and are always ready to help guests find what they need.

“Rapid City is such a tourist destination with Mount Rushmore National Memorial, Spearfish Canyon, Historic Deadwood, and more that are all within an hour from the property,” said Patton.

Adam Patton In addition to their convenient locations between events, dining, and entertainment, the hotels are brimming with recreational, family-friendly, and convenient amenities. The Courtyard by Marriott is connected to The Box, allowing guests the most convenient stay for their event or celebration. The Residence Inn by Marriott and Home2 Suites are connected to WaTiki Indoor Waterpark Resort, making it steps away from adrenaline-pumping waterslides and lazy rivers. Patton shares that a La Quinta and a Fairfield by Marriott are also on campus. Since hosting its first event in June of 2023, The Box is looking forward to creating and hosting new events for the community to attend. “We hosted CultureCon in September that was put on by a group from Sioux Falls,” stated Patton. “CultureCon has become a big deal and has grown to be quite popular and hadn’t been done in Rapid City before. We had the opportunity to host the first CultureCon on this side of the state, and it was very well received.” Patton shares that his hope for The Box is to see it be used more than it’s capable of. “We want to build and create events that are unlike anything else and ultimately have a world-class feel to them,” he said.

Written by Alana Snyder + Photos by Cailyn Patterson People shouldn’t have to choose between a quick meal and a healthy one—that’s one of the mottos behind Crisp & Green in Sioux Falls. “We focus on crisp, clean, healthy living and eating healthy food and living a nice, vibrant, clean life,” said owner and CEO Paul Goldammer. The entrepreneur was already well seasoned with franchises when he became involved in Crisp & Green, as he also owns the local Potbelly Sandwich Shop just two doors down by the Western Mall. While Potbelly specializes in toasted sandwiches, soups, salads, and hand-scooped milkshakes, Crisp & Green is more of a healthy, fast-casual concept focusing on scratch-made food, salads, grain bowls, smoothies, and acai bowls. “Everything is prepared and made here in house including our dressings, which we have a wide variety of,” explained Goldammer. “They’re amazing.”

an American success story...

for life’s special moments SINCE 1959

Since 1959, Riddle’s has been family owned and operated. With 65 stores in 10 states, we truly are an American success story! The secret to our success? An unwavering commitment to providing the very best customer service in the industry. We’ve long been an industry leader in jewelry technology and manufacturing. From our headquarters in Rapid City, South Dakota, we operate a thriving factory that produces many of our own jewelry designs—including our exclusive Noventa® Diamonds and expansive line of Black Hills Gold. Like you, we believe that producing and buying products made in the USA is still the backbone of our strong country!

We know we are selling more than just jewelry—we are helping you celebrate life’s important relationships and events. We are happy to be part of each of our local communities, and unlike large corporations, we pride ourselves in being able to cater to the individual customer’s unique needs and sense of style. We are dedicated to providing fine quality diamonds and an expansive selection of jewelry with a discerning eye on design and workmanship, all at an exceptional value.

EXPANSION

Riddle’s begins expanding across several states and becomes unique by providing onsite repairs and custom designs in each store location. THE FACTORY

The atmosphere of the actual space aligns with the “crisp and green idea” with modern finishes, an on-brand white and green color palette, large windows, and clean lines. Natural light pours into the restaurant with a glass garage door, which they utilize during the warmer months. “In the summer we open the garage door to reveal the patio with café lights, and that is open all season and brings the outdoor bright space into our store,” said Goldammer. Crisp & Green is also proud of the clean cooking line, which patrons approach near the entrance. Goldammer says their recipes are chef-inspired, and each team member is there to answer any questions and give recommendations. “It’s really a one-to-one straight conversation with the person who is creating your bowl and you can take care of everything right down to the dressing,” he described. “It is really a tailored experience.” While customers can build their own salads or grain bowls, Goldammer recommends trusting the experts and starting with a restaurant mainstay and customizing it from there.

Grain bowls and salads are their best sellers, including the popular Fiesta Bowl. The Fiesta Bowl consists of brown rice, roasted chicken, avocado, napa cabbage, jalapeño, black beans, fajita peppers and onions, queso fresco, pepitas, roasted tomatillo salsa, lime squeeze, and jalapeño-lime vinaigrette. Another is The Bold & the Buffalo, which has brown rice, arugula, buffalo chicken, carrot, radicchio, white cheddar, roasted cauliflower, croutons, and Crisp & Green Ranch Dressing. “People will try The Bold & the Buffalo and never try another menu item because it’s their favorite,” said Goldammer. There are 12 featured salads at a time, and some rotate and/ or are seasonal. One popular constant is the Classic Caesar Salad with kale, romaine, roasted chicken, tomatoes, sunflower seeds, shaved parmesan, parmesan crisps, lemon squeeze, and classic caesar dressing. The Honey Spice & Everything Nice is a seasonal item that features spinach, arugula, radicchio, apples, parmesan, blackened chicken thigh, brussels sprouts, walnuts, and honey mustard dressing. Goldammer says customers also come in often for an acai bowl as a treat or for lunch. “It's a wonderful blend of fruit that is satisfying,” he described.

Acai Bowls can be more fruit-based like the Two to Mango with acai sorbet, mango sorbet, banana, strawberries, pepitas, blueberries, and toasted coconut, or more of a sweet snack like the Give Me S’More with acai sorbet, banana, cashew butter, granola, cacao nibs, and vegan marshmallows. Smoothies are another healthy option and are a simple on-thego snack or meal replacement. “Our smoothies range from green spinach-based smoothies to more fun ones with peanut butter or fruit, but they all have protein,” said Goldammer. They also are all gluten free, including the Purple Rain with banana, blueberries, strawberries, apple, and plain pea protein. A great time to try a smoothie or other menu items, says Goldammer, is during one of the free fitness events they host on

random Saturdays, featuring zumba, yoga, and more. “It’s awesome because they are free, so it’s a great way to connect with the community because who doesn’t want a free fitness class,” Goldammer continued, “and then it also gives people that have never had us a chance to come into our store to come in, see the space, and grab a healthy drink or bite when they’re done.” And even though it’s healthy, Goldammer says the constant feedback is that everything at Crisp & Green is “craveable.” He said, “You feel full when you leave and leave satisfied, and you have the energy to make it through the day.”

Outpost Adventures WRITTEN BY GABBY SUDENGA + PHOTOS BY JOHN SNYDER

605 STOPS BY When Jacob and Kelly Bunde opened Outpost 1875 in Sioux Falls, the business focused solely on designing and manufacturing accessory dwelling units “for the individual in search of living a better life.” Throughout their visits and discovery calls with clients, the Bundes gathered the thought of these prefabricated, modern tiny homes becoming Airbnbs. “Our love for unique vacation rentals and wanting to offer people the opportunity to be inside and enjoy an Outpost led us to dream up Outpost Adventures,” shared Kelly. Outpost Adventures provides an immersive vacation escape for guests seeking to be wrapped in nature’s embrace. The Bunde’s five-acre plot of land in Custer offers more than an average camping experience. It’s glamping at its finest, where luxury meets adventure and comfort dances with the wilderness. Jacob, a licensed AIA architect, personally designs the Outposts. The design of the units incorporates clean, industrial materials, while featuring a minimalist style. “I designed the Outposts with full glass windows so guests can lay in a luxurious bed, snuggled next to a fireplace, and watch the deer at the automated feeders,” explained Jacob. T H E B U S I N E S S I S S U E februar y 2024

What's Glamping? GLAMPING (SHORT FOR GLAMOROUS CAMPING) INVOLVES MORE LUXURIOUS ACCOMMODATIONS & FACILITIES COMPARED TO TRADITIONAL CAMPING.

For Jacob, angling the Outposts to avoid obstructed views while providing a maximum amount of privacy was important. He added that parking is removed from the units to reduce noise, headlights, and distraction. “A fun design feature I created for this property is an outdoor shower,” shared Jacob. “I expect to continue adding those types of amenities to the place with the goals of digging a pond and setting up a sauna.” Nestled amongst the vast land of the Black Hills are three outposts: the Grey Wolf Outpost, the Blue Jay Outpost, and the Buffalo Canvas Tent. All three rentals blend seamlessly into the wooded landscape, offering a peaceful sanctuary and modern glamping experience. The Blue Jay Outpost was inspired by the clear blue skies of South Dakota, while the Grey Wolf Outpost was inspired by the confident and alluring canine. The 126-square-foot outposts are equipped with a queen-sized bed with 600 thread-count linens, a beverage fridge, a microwave, a Culligan water dispenser, a Keurig with coffee pods and creamer, and free unlimited wifi.

The Buffalo Canvas tent was named after the animal’s resourcefulness and pursuit of success, said Kelly. The tent offers a 168-square-foot space equipped with a king-sized bed, with 600 thread-count linens, a kitchenette, bottled water service, a mini-fridge, a microwave, and a coffee bar. The most secluded of the three units— the Buffalo Canvas—offers both the clear sounds of nature and protection from the elements. “All three outposts have reserved Adirondack chairs and a private firepit to enjoy s’mores at the end of your day filled with adventure,” said Kelly. A Shower Haus is accessible to all tenants staying on campus. Tucked away in the forest for ultimate privacy, the stand-alone shower house offers modern amenities for rinsing off after a day of outdoor activities. All guests receive a fresh, clean set of towels, and a luxury microfiber robe to help enhance the sense of calm and relaxation. Outpost Adventures doesn’t just provide a place to rest your head, but a springboard for endless exploration. Enjoy quick access to the George S. Mickelson Trail, which guides you to downtown Custer. The outposts also feature exclusive gated access to hiking in the National Black Forest, with the bonus of being within driving distance to popular attractions like Custer State Park, Jewel Cave National Monument, Sylvan Lake, and Mount Rushmore National Memorial. “Exploring the state and federal parks in the area makes for great memories,” said Jacob.

Surrounded by the Black Hills southern forests, Jacob and Kelly tell their guests to plan for birdwatching, stargazing, and ‘Do you smell nature?’ vibes.

“The southern hills have won our hearts—everything from the food, the people, and the parks,” said Jacob. “We want our guests to experience all of the things we love about the southern hills.”

ignighting innovation

Startup Sioux Falls Along the streets of downtown Sioux Falls, a historic building has been transformed into a place to nurture new ideas. Last year Startup Sioux Falls moved into the downtown community with the intent of supporting entrepreneurs and founders, igniting innovation, and bolstering economic development in South Dakota’s largest city. Though Startup has been around for 21 years, the nonprofit has shifted names and identities as it has grown. Back in 2002, the organization opened under the name South Dakota Technology and Business Center, focusing on tech and business incubation. In 2016 it was rebranded to the Zeal Center for Entrepreneurship, and in 2021 the organization made the shift from Zeal to Startup Sioux Falls.

As the isolating side effects of the pandemic marched on, creating community became nearly impossible. Startup’s 45,000-squarefoot facility on the northwest side of town was spacious, but incongruent with the organization’s needs and goals. To foster connectivity, a location change was inevitable. “All signs pointed to downtown,” said president Brienne Maner. Maner joined the team in 2019 after working at Downtown Sioux Falls, Inc. and other community and non-profit organizations for 15 years. As the team scouted for a new location downtown, they began to consider the cityowned Parks and Recreation building with encouragement from Mayor Paul TenHaken.

Built in 1894 as a freight depot and office of the general agent for the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul & Pacific Railroad, the building had been sitting vacant for over five years. “When the Mayor first suggested a tour of the facility, I was in disbelief that our operation could downsize to 5,500 square feet. The pandemic’s effects on remote work helped us realize it was exactly what we needed to serve today's entrepreneurs," said Maner. The Startup team had their Wall Breaking Ceremony in May 2022 followed by the financial support of dozens of local businesses to begin renovations. The doors opened to the public in February of 2023. Maner says the building, affectionately called “The Depot,” is a testament to entrepreneurship. “I look at the quartzite walls and think about the determination, care, and the tenacity that it took to build a facility that’s still standing strong,” she said. “Our move would not have been possible without the support of our greater business community such as MarketBeat, Lloyd Companies, POET, and SDN Communications, as well as our dedicated board and staff.” With increased visibility downtown came an influx of folks drawn to the building, the organization, and its many services. “We serve three different markets,” said community coordinator Amos Buelow. “Entrepreneurs and founders who want to grow a business and network, remote workers who want a workspace with community, and business organizations that need conference rooms or an event space.”

Brienne Maner “We all have something to learn from the entrepreneurial mindset.”

Big Goals

T H E B U S I N E S S I S S U E februar y 2024

A Startup Sioux Falls goal is to serve 100,000 people & help 100 startups grow in 10 years.

Amos Buelow “One of our core values is inclusivity. No matter who we talk to, there's someone or something we can connect them to.”

The Depot functions as a space for each of these groups, creating opportunities for connections and encouraging focused work. Buelow’s role is connecting the people who come through the doors to whatever person, resource, or program is most useful most to the next step in their journey. “I help them identify what is most beneficial for them,” says Buelow, who provides initial consultation and direction to new clients. Beyond helping newcomers, Buelow also promotes inclusive offerings available through Startup Sioux Falls. “We are an organization that thinks like an entrepreneur, ignites innovation,

and supports growth for founders, remote workers, and organizations,” summarizes Buelow. Startup offers different assets for each of the groups it serves. For remote workers, the facility provides a coworking space that increases focus and allows for connectivity with other entrepreneurs. “I love the space,” said member Josh Lapin. “The staff is awesome, sometimes there’s free food, and it’s only $106 a month. I swear they are losing money on me,” he said. Member Tim Summerer agreed, “It’s great to have the community and have a space I am proud to bring clients to, and it's fun to be in a cool part of town and a cool building.”

“Whenever there’s a hurdle or obstacle, that’s when you know to reach out to us, because we’ll be able to help you find what you need.”

Amos Buelow Buelow revealed that remote workers often end up starting their own businesses just because of the environment. “There’s a level of intention here that you can’t get anywhere else. You’re naturally motivated because you’re around like-minded people,” he said. For entrepreneurs and founders, Startup offers a handful of programs. First, there is a weekend bootcamp that serves would-be business owners at the idea stage. The two-day program helps innovators troubleshoot whether their ventures would be profitable to pursue and how to start. For those who have begun their entrepreneurial journey, Startup offers CO.STARTERS, a 10week business accelerator that helps founders fine tune their new businesses alongside others in the community and connects them to mentors. Growco is a year-long program for established businesses which have reached a plateau or are looking to expand. Business leaders and organizations are also embraced in the Startup community to mentor, rent out spaces, sponsor projects, and get involved.

According to Maner, Startup also functions as direct economic development support for workforce and business relocation, and provides a space where people from all stages in the business community can come together and sharpen each other. “We have incredible access to brilliant business leaders who not only invest in our startup community, but also our team, which better equips us to serve needs throughout the founder’s journey,” she reflected. Beyond these programs, Startup hosts a vast network of programming, connections, and resources available to founders. Among these are Startup Sunrise, which is an entrepreneurial gathering on the first Wednesday of every month, and Startup Pitch Night, where entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to the community for a cash prize. For Maner and Buelow, it’s all about the community and ways to serve the entire founder’s journey in a way that is real and involved. “It takes a village to nourish a vibrant and inclusive startup ecosystem, and we are serious about the growth and accountability of those we serve at Startup Sioux Falls,” said Maner.

“Monument Health is committed to the future of medicine with medical training partnerships, a medical residency program, and more than 130 active research studies,” said Steven Maser, M.D. vice president of medical affairs.

The history of this health care system traces back to 1878 when the Sisters of the Holy Cross opened a hospital in the gold rush mining camp of Deadwood, while other communities constructed hospitals of their own. In 1979, Rapid City’s two hospitals, St. John’s McNamara Hospital and Bennett-Clarkson Memorial Hospital merged into the Rapid City Regional Hospital. Monument Health is now composed of five hospitals in addition to over 40 medical clinics and specialty centers throughout Belle Fourche, Buffalo, Custer, Deadwood, Hill City, Hot Springs, Lead, Spearfish, Sturgis, and Wall. “We’re committed to and live each day by our five priorities: deliver high-quality care, provide a caring experience, be a great place to work, impact our communities, and be here for generations to come,” stated Maser.

Five Facts

About Maser

1 2 3 4 5

I’m a passionate professional and college football fan. I’m originally from Pennsylvania, and my teams are the Philadelphia Eagles and Penn State Nittany Lions. I’ve been told that I smile a lot. One of my prior OR nurses would call me “smiley." Traveling is a passion of mine. In my quest for the 50 states, I still need Oklahoma, which I plan to visit in April, and Alaska. I’m frequently whistling. Half of the time, I don’t even know what I’m whistling until someone mentions it or I stop to think about it. I love our large mixed family–my partner Bonnie, my kids, Aly, Jeff, and his wife, Julia. Bonnie’s kids–Will, Niki, Liz, Chris, Joe, and his wife, Emma.

Backpacking Pals I live very close to Skyline Drive, so the Skyline Wilderness Trail is in my backyard. I also have friends who hike Hanson-Larsen Memorial Park at 5 a.m. about once a week.

Maser’s Hiking Motto My hiking motto is, “There’s no such thing as bad weather, just improper clothing!” My remedy is the gear at Roam’n Around in Rapid City and Granite Sports in Hill City.

Sunday Traditions My partner, Bonnie, and I eat at HJEM A.M. most Sunday mornings. Erik and Cami Belland, the owners, are wonderful hosts, and the food is fabulous. I frequently order The Bob (pancakes with lingonberries and lemon creme) and Bonnie orders the Morning Walleye.

Stops & Shops After our breakfast in Custer, we frequently stop in Hill City on the way home. Jewel of the West has great clothing and we also enjoy visiting our friends at the Beef Jerky Experience. T H E B U S I N E S S I S S U E februar y 2024

Great Company Bonnie and I love the great company and views at the Juniper at Vertex Sky Bar at the Hotel Alex Johnson. It’s a great place to take out our out-of-town visitors. For dessert, we head across the street to Mary’s Mountain Cookies.

Early Bird Gets The Worm I’m a morning person, up at 4:20 a.m. and ready for bed by about 8:30 p.m. If I’m not hiking in the morning, I’m at the Sports Performance Institute powered by Exos at the Monument Health Orthopedic & Specialty Hospital for a 5 a.m. exercise class.

Learning Curve My favorite experience I had in Lead was Neutrino Days. I enjoyed learning about the work going on at the Sanford Underground Research Facility.

Beating the Heat In the summer, I enjoy going to the lakes in Custer State Park, particularly Legion Lake. There’s a small beach, a beautiful backdrop, and a snack bar!

When not working, what can we find you doing? I can often be found at home keeping busy with animals, plants, or my kids’ imagination. My family has an acreage, and I thoroughly enjoy gardening and looking after our chickens, rescue dog, and two cats. If I’m not home, I’m most likely enjoying a local restaurant or volunteering with Sioux Empire Pit Rescue.

What are your favorite spots to visit in & around Sioux Falls? My family is especially partial to the great local food and

drink spots like Queen City Bakery, Fernson Brewing Company, Breadico Sourdough Bread Company, Bagel Boy, and Golden Bowl Restaurant. Of course my kids love the local fun spots like Thunder Road Sioux Falls, Rainbow Comics, Cards, & Collectibles, and Arrowhead Park.
