Inside Out Business

This offbeat issue features four ridiculously successful businesspeople doing a great deal of business outside our nine-county Connect Business Magazine reading area, even nationally and internationally. Yet they all chose our area for their home—or business home.

Our cover standouts, Dr. Gary and Mary Jeanne Jernberg, have interests diverse as an eyetooth is long. Gary owns a Mankato periodontics practice and has become a prolific, international, pharmaceutical- and medical-industry inventor. Accomplished wife Mary Jeanne, a cover story in her own right, has a North Mankato headquarters and staff that oversees ten restaurants outside our reading area, including nine Subway locations in Rochester.

Our company profiles include North Mankatoan Jeff Flood, who owns , with both companies doing the bulk of their business outside our reading area. Finally, straight arrow CEO Jay McAninch (that’s spelled correctly) and the nonprofit Archery Trade Association cover the nation while representing a full quiver of archery manufacturers, retailers, sales representatives, and distributors—all from ausgezeichnet New Ulm.

May you and 8,800 other readers enjoy our latest effort connecting you with interesting businesspeople in our nine-county region, from the Iowa border to Sibley County, and Waseca to Springfield.
