By the Best of Business Entourage of Editors, Contributors, and Assorted Hangers-On
Just call us BOB. Mere purveyors of business dish for most of
the year, we turn each summer to a higher calling: uncovering the best
practices, best ideas, best trends, best performers, best newcomers, best
developments, best rescuers, best fun, and best lore—in short, the best of
business in the Twin Cities.
Who’s got the best investment strategy? We’re on it. What’s the best thing going in retail? We’ve got it covered. Best research in biofuels? Best trend in commercial real estate? Best efforts to keep the state competitive in a global economy? Got it, got it, got it.
No mission was too obscure for us. Best-managed local band? Yeah, it’s here. Best-disguised nutraceutical? Yup. Best news in beer? Yessiree BOB, we’ve reported on that, too.
You might decide to check out a few of these top operators yourself after perusing these pages. If you do, just tell them BOB sent you.
