HAPPY TO SUPPORT LOCAL
"It's been great becoming a part of the community," Knudsen says. "We have enjoyed cultivating
the relationships with our customer base. We also
love showing people products beyond what they
see everywhere else."
In 2017, the selection and customer service at
Happy's Wine and Spirits paid off with a first place
win the The Courier's annual Best of the Best
competition, a measure of public support. "Every
year since we opened we have gotten an honorable mention, a feat in itself considering how new
we are," says Knudsen. Receiving first place
"means the folks around here seem to like what
we are doing."
One thing people in Cedar Valley like,
Knudsen adds, is "patronizing locally owned businesses." Happy's is one of those businesses-and
it spreads the love by using other small, local
vendors.
It's kind of like one-stop shopping for supporting local.
