Small Business Growth in Wausau: A Promising Trend

The small business scene in Wausau is booming, with new businesses popping up and longtime establishments being passed down to new owners. One such example is the 100% Relaxing Station Massage spa in Weston, owned by Chinese immigrant Ziping Pan, who also owns Hi Restaurant in downtown Wausau. After experiencing the benefits of massage therapy during her recovery from surgery, Ziping decided to become a professional massage therapist and open her own spa.

In downtown Wausau, Mia Husnick and her husband have taken over Sweets on 3rd, a beloved local business. Despite the challenges of finding employees, they are excited to continue serving the community. The Greater Wausau Chamber of Commerce is working with small business owners to address this issue and create opportunities for local youth to get involved in the workforce.

With a diverse array of visitors coming to Wausau, businesses like Sweets on 3rd have the chance to connect with people from different areas and even different countries. As National Ice Cream Day approaches on July 21st, Sweets on 3rd will be offering special promotions, so be sure to check out their Facebook page for more details.

Overall, the growth of small businesses in Wausau is a positive sign for the community, bringing new opportunities and experiences for residents and visitors alike.
