It’s with great honor to alert NRC readers that Two Rivers Treads has been selected as a top 100 small business by the Small Business Revolution (SBR), which is a year-long documentary project that showcases the stories of 100 small businesses across the country. Powered by the Deluxe Corporation of Minnesota, SBR tells 12 mini-documentaries and 88 photo essays on the website, with another new story posted every four days until 100 are shared in 2015. SBR brings recognition to small businesses and showcases the importance of Main Street. Two Rivers Treads is number 70!

There’s nothing “small” about small businesses –after all, they make up half the nation’s economy. And in an era of big box stores, online shopping and massive conglomerates, there’s a growing movement to make business more personal. The Small Business Revolution brings awareness to the critical role small businesses play in the fabric of our communities.
So when customers support a store like Two Rivers Treads and other Natural Running Center store partners, they are supporting local causes. When was the last time a big-box store hosted or sponsored a local event, supported countless local charities with prizes and auction items, donated hundreds of children’s shoes to promote natural foot health, or taught principles of health to anyone coming through the door?
The entire staff at TRT is proud to have given support to hundreds of community races, events, and charities through sponsorship, contributions of prizes, sharing of equipment, logistics help, and volunteering. What has made me really happy as an owner is that several of our young employees have gone on to professional health care careers, military academies, and Division 1 College Scholarships.
Enjoy the photos and shop small!
Congratulations to Two Rivers Treads!
