Small Business Success Honoree!

Written by Trista | Jan 22, 2014

Did you hear? We won an award!!

The Line Up and owner Deb Erickson were proud to be honored as one of Twin Cities Business magazine's Small Business Success Stories for 2013! Deb accepted the award at a ceremony last night at the Hilton Minneapolis, and was featured in a cover story in the January issue of the magazine. The Line Up was nominated by our banker Jim Friend at Anchor Bank. Out of 121 total nominees, only 10 Twin Cities businesses were honored. This year marks our 25th anniversary, and we were humbled to have our business journey and hard work throughout the years recognized.

The Line Up and our friends at the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders were also selected to grace the cover of this month's magazine! Deb is featured front and center, with our own Pam Gleason (center front) and Mollie McCourt (upper left). In addition to being fabulous dancers for the Vikings, Pam is also our coordinator of online sales and marketing, and Mollie is the friendly face and voice that greets you when you call or visit The Line Up.
