What a great morning with Don and Jennifer Rick at PocahontasMercantile & Sweet Shoppe in Pocahontas, IL!

Jennifer shared how they came to be the owners of The Strand and The Mercantile & Sweet Shoppe, investors in Pocahontas, and the many small businesses that have found a home in their properties.

Jennifer also shared some Pokie History with a tour through The Strand’s growing collection of artifacts for The Pocahontas Museum and their nearly released plans to create a new home for more small businesses in the region.

With a heart for history and community, The Rick’s are busy improving, rebuilding, and creatively being new life to Bond County.

Thanks for the delicious doughnuts and drinks!!
