SPOTLIGHT ON BUSINESS MAGAZINE BEST OF 2016

Taking a look back at our Top Stories from 2016….

Moto Trax – Experience + Imagination = Fun

How’d you like to be dashing through the snow on a 50+ horse power Honda CRF450F dirt bike with a Trax Mountain snow bike kit installed?

Spindrift Brewing Co. – Making waves in the microbrewery world

Spindrift occurs when a wave crashes. Just imagine a wave crashing. You see a mist come off the back of that wave – that is spindrift. It’s fresh. It’s bold.

Multidev Technologies Inc. – Tailored beats OSFA any day

He’s a man with a knack for prognostication. Well, that seems to sensationalize things a bit. His is largely a learned skill and it’s worthy of far more than a checkout aisle glance.

Marten Brewing Co. – A truly Canadian story

Those guys behind the glass are used to it. You can point and talk about them amongst yourselves. Laugh – they won’t take it personally. If you wave – and their hands are free – they’ll wave back.

DME Brewing Solutions – A new beginning for old friends

After 700 projects in 67 countries over a 25-year span, it’s not at all surprising that the President and CEO of DME Brewing Solutions in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Peter Toombs, became nostalgic when pressed about his company’s silver jubilee.

GB Millwork – High-tech and traditional can get along

Greg Boutilier, founder and owner of GB Millwork in Windsor Junction, Nova Scotia, doesn’t find himself begrudgingly tightening his purse strings before his employees’ eyes. In fact, Boutilier and his team just completed what was their largest project, financially, to date.

RoofCARE – Keeping Your Head When It Comes to Keeping the Roof over Your Head

Some people have a tendency to cover up personal inaction with pretense. We’ve all been in line behind “that guy” at a coffee chain, lecturing his friend about the virtues of buying local, with his left hand authoritatively gesturing to an invisible orchestra, while his right hand clasps a big-box store plastic bag, exploding with obvious impulse purchases.

Atlantic Motoplex – Revved-Up and Ready in the Maritimes

It all started with a Yamaha PW50 and a subscription to Cycle Canada. His Dad bought him the bike; his Mom the literature.

Cavendish Beach Music Festival – Big Country, Little Island

That time has come upon us again as many head to the beach to bask in the Summer sun, and the beaches of Prince Edward Island are no different.

New Scotland Clothing Company – East Coast Pride Meets the World

They have been mistaken as Irish on more than one occasion. But like their products, they are Nova Scotia made, accent and all.

Gateway Classic Cars – Beyond Big Deals on Four Wheels

If you love classic and exotic cars, you are going to love Sal Akbani. If you love celebrities, you are going to love Sal Akbani. If you love people who give back to their community, you are going to love Sal Akbani.

SideBySideStuff.com

With 106 different brand names, customization options, and close to 3000 ready-to-ship after-market parts and accessories, it is no wonder that SideBySideStuff.com draws in the motorsports crowd from across North America.

The RTA Store

To fit The RTA Store, Inc. into the niche of this month’s magazine – Putting the Spotlight on the Fastest Growing North American Retailers – may not do “America’s largest online Kitchen & Bathroom dealer” justice.

Monk Renovations

Dan Monk’s vision sounds simple. Founding his company in 2009, he has built Monk Renovations from the ground up, one job and one relationship at a time.
