Tootin' our horn
« on: January 29, 2014, 09:49:45 AM »
I don't often mention accomplishments of our company, but yesterday we received an award I am quite proud of. The Economic Development Commission (Chamber of Commerce) for the corridor of Cedar Rapids/Iowa City, Iowa named Bimm Ridder Sportswear as the 2013 Small Business of the year. It was to recognize our accomplishments as a small business, noting also the amount of business we bring INTO the community, (95 plus per cent of our sales are from outside of Cedar Rapids) The work we do with some charitable organizations, and I guess the fact that we're just damn good guys.  :D. I'm proud of our company, and more so, the people that work for us, allowing us to do all we do.
