Anthony Jewelers Success Story

After 28 years in the business, Anthony Schwan, owner of Anthony Jewelers, fell ill and had to sell his business to keep up with his medical expenses. After some time had passed, he was able to move back to Aberdeen and restart his business. His finances looked grim, but with the help of GROW South Dakota, he was able to get back on his feet after being closed for two and a half years.  Anthony utilized GROW South Dakota’s business loan services and the digital literacy platform, Initiate. Initiate gave him a renewed sense of independence in today's digital age after completing classes like “Building the Value of your Business” and “Accessing your Online Presence”.  

Anthony said, “I have a new lease on life! With GROW South Dakota’s help, I now have a new 1,500-square-foot store in downtown Aberdeen!” He goes on to say, “The services GROW South Dakota provides are instrumental in all small businesses and re-starting a business.”
