Welcome.

I first heard about the “Faces of” concept in 2016 from a publisher out of Omaha, NE. They had created a magazine that promoted local businesses by featuring a “Face” of a specific business type (for example, the “Face of Architecture”). The publication helped connect Omaha community members with local businesses, and after talking with other publishers, I learned the concept had been met with equally great feedback in their markets, too.

As someone who’s passionate about celebrating and connecting communities, I loved the idea immediately. In 2021, we decided to bring the “Faces of” concept to the Fargo-Moorhead-West Fargo and BismarckMandan communities. In 2022, we expanded the publication to Sioux Falls, and since then, we’ve continued to produce “Faces of” magazines in each of these regions every year. We even added a Faces of Greater Grand Forks earlier this year!

That same enthusiasm has brought us back once again—this time with the newest edition of Faces of Bismarck–Mandan.

We hope you enjoy this publication and take the opportunity to get to know some of the people shaping the Bismarck–Mandan business community.

Over the past 16 years, we’ve created more than 600 magazines—all focused on telling positive, community-

driven stories. “Faces of Bismarck–Mandan” is another piece of that mission, and we believe you’ll enjoy reading about the people and businesses that make this region special.

This publication is considered a “native advertising piece” in the publishing industry. That means each “Face of” feature is a sponsored page, paid for by the advertiser. However, this isn’t a “Best Of” issue—it’s a showcase of the individuals and organizations that help our communities grow. By sharing their stories, we’re connecting readers with local businesses they may not have known about before.

Because it’s a sponsored publication, we’re able to produce it at a high quality and distribute 21,500 copies free to the public. Our sales and editorial teams worked hard to connect with credible, community-minded businesses across each category. Our goal is to help you learn more about the people behind the businesses that make Bismarck–Mandan thrive—and to encourage everyone to continue supporting local.

Selections for Faces 2026 are already underway.

After officially taking ownership in September 2024, Lori and Kyleigh are thrilled to introduce themselves as the proud owners of Sunkissed Tanning Salon. Since reopening, they’ve poured their hearts into creating a warm, welcoming space where every client feels valued, empowered, and eager to return.

Originally from Las Vegas, Lori and Kyleigh have called Bismarck-Mandan home for the past 14 years. Their shared vision for Sunkissed grew from a passion for beauty, connection, and confidence. In 2023, Kyleigh made the bold move back to Las Vegas to attend nail school, later returning

to Bismarck as a Master Manicurist. Her creativity and precision have quickly earned her recognition—along with an impressive 2 awards from the 2025 Bismarck Best of the Best, including Best Nail Technician and Best Nail Salon.

The salon features eight tanning beds, one red light therapy bed, and a custom spray tan room staffed by talented artists Lori, Kyleigh, Maria, and Jen. It’s also home to permanent jewelry services, Nails by Kyleigh, and a boutique filled with stylish swimsuits, sunglasses, hats, clothing, and jewelry.

Owner & Engineer Chris Loraas & Team

Innovative Solutions

In a nondescript building in South Bismarck, a team of engineers and technicians works to provide unique solutions to a wide range of customers' needs. The team at Innovative Solutions provides engineering design, automation, machining, and welding services to clients both near and far. Focusing on manufacturing clients and mostly business-to-business relationships, Innovative Solutions has developed a reputation for quality craftsmanship backed by solid engineering design principles. They assist customers with custom-designed and built solutions, whether it’s automated machinery with fully integrated programming and electronics, to simple repairs, welding, and machined parts.

Since 2014, starting as a 3-man shop, Innovative Solutions has steadily grown into a 12,000 sq. ft. facility employing more than 10 people. Using the latest in CAD, CAM software, and various machines for CNC machining, manual machining, welding, forming, 3D printing, laser marking and engraving, the list goes on.

Innovative Solutions prides itself on a wide range of processes to allow quick turnarounds by controlling most, if not all, of the steps in a design and manufacturing process.

Through a tight knit partnership with regional companies, Innovative is able to offer a comprehensive list of services. Owner Chris Loraas attributes their long-term success to his family, consistent commitment to quality, and the highest

standards of engineering and craftsmanship. The execution of this is in the hands of all of the highly skilled employees who consistently do a great job. “Many of our employees have long tenure, including Kelly Kubischta, who has been with the company from the start.”

“Every time we show a new person around the business and share who we are and what we do, we often get the answer…I didn’t know this existed in Bismarck-Mandan, or even North Dakota! We are looking to change that and expand our reach to more clients who can utilize our services.”

Innovative Solutions' most recent large project took them to the Bay Area in California, where they designed and installed a pair of custom wall flipping tables in a facility that builds prefabricated walls for housing. The system allows safe inflow, outflow, and manipulation of the walls via a control system and a series of sensors.

Carpet Cleaning

Owner Michael Burton, Michael Hammer, & Jordan Engel (Not Pictured)

Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning

Michael Burton knows service. His background in restaurant and retail management taught him what customers expect—and how to exceed it. Armed with that knowledge, he purchased the North Dakota and Eastern Minnesota Oxi Fresh franchises seven years ago. He started with one van and has grown that into a fleet of 18, serving homes and businesses across North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and South Dakota.

At Oxi Fresh, carpet cleaning is just the beginning. Michael, alongside leaders Jordan Engel and Michael Hammer, has

built a team that prioritizes people. Their philosophy is to give generously and grow consistently. That approach has powered their steady rise and helped create an operation known for both quality and care.

Unlike traditional steam cleaners, Oxi Fresh uses a lowmoisture system that dries in about an hour. It needs just 5% of the water typical steam cleaners use, making it quicker, cleaner, and better for your carpet. No wickback, no soggy floors, no waiting a day to walk on your own carpet again.

The key is their proprietary cleaning solution, which breaks down grime with an oxygenated booster, then locks it in with a special encapsulator. Their OF1000 machine lifts the dirt out—no residue, no crushed pile.

Oxi Fresh handles carpet, upholstery, tile and grout, and hardwood floors. It’s been named Franchise of the Year (2020–2023), received the EPA’s “Safer Choice” award, and has helped over 40,000 people gain access to clean water through its Water.org partnership. To date, the company has saved more than 117 million gallons of water.

Backed by a mission to serve and a team that lives it, Oxi Fresh is more than a cleaning service. It’s a people-first business that just happens to leave carpets spotless.

Dakota Eye Institute

At Dakota Eye Institute, vision care has always been about more than medicine and technology. It’s about patients, their stories, and the moments that make up life in the community. For more than three decades, Dakota Eye Institute’s surgeons have been trusted to bring world-class care close to home, and that tradition continues today as the practice expands the ways it helps the community see more clearly.

Ocular surgery at Dakota Eye Institute covers a wide range of needs, from cataracts and corneal transplants to eyelid

repairs and refractive procedures. Every patient who walks through the doors brings hope for better vision—whether it’s to drive safely at night, read comfortably, or simply enjoy the colors of a North Dakota sunset. The team’s role is to meet those hopes with skill, compassion, and the best options available.

This year, Dakota Eye Institute is proud to introduce two new technologies that are reshaping what’s possible in vision care. The light-adjustable lens allows cataract patients to fine-tune their vision after surgery, adjusting clarity and focus with light until it feels just right. No two patients see

the world in the same way, and this innovation offers a level of personalization never before possible. For patients with specific circumstances not best served by LASIK, the EVO ICL offers another path. This implantable lens works in harmony with the eye’s natural structures, providing crisp, lasting vision without the daily hassle of glasses or contacts.

Behind these advances is a team of surgeons deeply rooted in the community. Dr. Rodenburg, Dr. Selid, Dr. Raducu, Dr. Mollman, and Dr. Fortney each bring specialized expertise to their work, united by a shared commitment to treating every patient like a neighbor. At Dakota Eye Institute, clearer vision isn’t just about charts—it’s about seeing life’s most meaningful moments, every single day.

PRO Resources

Managing the full scope of human resources has become increasingly complex. Large companies reduce risk and control costs by relying on full-scale HR departments. But for small and mid-sized businesses, building that same internal infrastructure simply isn’t cost-effective.

Instead, some small businesses roll the dice with a DIY approach or rely on a single, often overwhelmed, HR generalist. In this model, the real cost of HR, including risk exposure, time, and turnover, is rarely measured, but it adds up fast. All considered, engaging an external HR partner provides cost savings. Just as businesses have long outsourced IT, legal, financial, and marketing services, many are now applying the same logic to HR.

Traditional HR outsourcing options often stop at the basics: payroll, forms, and compliance checklists. As a Professional Employer Organization (PEO), PRO offers a full corporate HR department: safety, wellness, EAP, insurance administration, payroll, workers’ compensation claims and coverage, HR technology, and on-site support.

“We offer what feels like an entire HR army, without the overhead,” PRO Partner Jason Boutwell said. “We’ve built the model so that pricing scales with headcount. That makes it accessible to companies of every size.”

Because PRO aggregates purchasing power across its client base, it provides access to Fortune 500-level employee packages, often at a lower cost than small businesses can
