Pride Month may be drawing to a close, but these Oshkosh business owners focus on year-round inclusivity
OSHKOSH NORTHWESTERN OSHKOSH – June is drawing to a close, meaning Pride flags and rainbow-themed confections will soon be harder to find. It's true that some companies exploit the month for their own personal gains without supporting causes or organizations. But the core of Pride Month, which marks the birth of the modern LGBTQ civil rights movement and the impact its members have had, is an idea that some local business owners get behind year round. Ken Osmond, who owns Planet Perk Coffeehouses in Oshkosh, feels the idea of inclusivity is not a time of year so much as it is a business model. While the coffee shop does "some performative things" like hanging signs that all are welcome and the Pride flag, he said he also donates to organizations that offer LGBTQ resources and support and provides a space for those groups to meet...

Led by Buddig family, Old Wisconsin sausage celebrates 75 years, grows with protein snacks
SHEBOYGAN PRESS
SHEBOYGAN -- Bob Buddig may be the CEO and spokesperson for a family business that began with chipped beef, but he’s "not a one-man band." There are five Buddig siblings, and they have all had various roles within the family business. In fact, Buddig’s earliest role was taking out the garbage. Back in 1981, they bought Old Wisconsin sausage company, which began as Thielmann's sausage shop in Sheboygan. Three facilities now operate in Sheboygan. Under the Buddig portfolio, the brand has seen considerable growth, particularly in the past five years. Sales of sausage and snack sticks are popular with busy consumers, and the convenience of shelf-stable products means they aren’t seeing things slow down. One month of sales today is more than an entire year four decades ago at Old Wisconsin, which marks 75 years in business this year ...Read More 7> |
