REVIVE NUTRITION

Tell us about yourself and your role within your business.

A: My name is Bailey Pask and I’m the owner and an operator at Revive Nutrition. I’m originally from Mandan and currently reside there as well. Prior to opening Revive Nutrition in February 2021, I was working as a Registered Nurse on Labor & Delivery at CHI St. Alexius. A part of my passion has always been for the business world, as my first degree was in Business Administration which I received from the University of Mary.

Briefly tell us the history behind Revive Nutrition and how you got started.

A: Over my first few years working as a nurse, I also held a part-time job at another nutrition club in Bismarck. The idea of owning my own club some day was always in the back of my mind, as I’ve always wanted to be a business owner. The location in Mandan was brought to my attention and I felt like it couldn’t have been a better fit for me and my future customers, so the decision was made to lease the space and transform it into what it is today!

MEMBER SINCE 2021

How has the growth of Bismarck-Mandan impacted Revive Nutrition?

A: The growth we’ve seen over the past few years in Bismarck-Mandan is the reason we had the opportunity to open Revive Nutrition, as there is certainly a large customer base that loves our products and wants the convenience of multiple locations, just like they do with their coffee shops.

How has the growth of Bismarck-Mandan impacted Revive Nutrition?

A: We understand that people are always on-the-go, and having the option for a healthy meal alternative where you don’t have to take the time to sit down and eat your meal, but can take your protein shake to-go and get on with your day, is the reason we have seen continued success with our protein shakes along with the other items on our menu. Our customers find that it’s a very easy breakfast or lunch option for their busy days.

Have there been any monumental changes within your industry that you’ve had to deal with?

A: Our biggest bump in the road has been the availability and quality of paper/plastic supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the plastic shortages have caused us to be creative and save where we can.

What does the future of Revive Nutrition look like, and the industry as a whole look like to you?

A: We are excited for the future of Revive Nutrition! We are quickly approaching our one year anniversary and couldn’t be happier to be serving the Bismarck-Mandan community. Our regulars, along with every single new customer that walks through our doors, continues to be the reason we are here. We always look forward to the new products that Herbalife continues to release, as well as the fun recipes our team continues to come up with themselves.

Why did you decide to become a member of the Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC?

A: Membership with the Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC was an important step in my continuity of networking within the community. The opportunities you provide for your members have been a great outlet to get the word about my business and build relationships with other business owners in Bismarck-Mandan.

What should other Chamber EDC members know about Revive Nutrition that they may not know already?

A: We have a great team at Revive that is always ready to serve up your favorites or help you find something new to try! If you aren’t familiar with our menu or our Herbalife products, we’d love to have you stop in and try some of our top selling drinks. We are always looking for ways to grow and expand, so if there’s something you wish we had that you’d like to see, we’d love to hear from you!

Bismarck Mandan was a part of a North Dakota spotlight in past issues. Both articles highlighted Bismarck-Mandan’s progressive higher education institutions, available resources, and quality of life amenities. The Business Xpansion Journal article was included in the September/October issue and the Expansion Solutions article will be in the November/December issue.

MORTON COUNTY PROJECT RECEIVES ASSISTANCE

A Glen Ullin restaurant and bar, Wet Spot Bar & Grill, received funding from the Morton County Development Fund. Wet Spot Bar & Grill is the only restaurant in Glen Ullin other than Hot Stuff Pizza at the Cenex making it important to keep open. The previous owner was looking to sell and a local couple, Tanya and Erling Barmoen, decided to purchase the bar and grill. The Morton County Development Fund request will fulfill the local match requirement for BND’s Flex Pace interest buydown program. If you have any questions about the Morton County Development Fund or how to apply contact the Chamber EDC office.

BUSINESS ASSISTANCE PROGRAM OF THE MONTH: LIFT FUND

The North Dakota Development Fund administers a financial assistance program aimed at helping childcare providers throughout North Dakota. Eligible Organizations include licensed profit, nonprofit and public childcare facilities. Faith-based organizations are eligible but must follow all appropriate federal guidelines if receiving federal subsidies. The loan can be up to $100,000 and be used for the acquiring, leasing or remodeling of real estate facilities, purchasing equipment or working capital.

The ND Department of Human Services, Early Childhood Division, is using funding streams to support the health and sustainability of North Dakota’s childcare sector. The grant opportunities available to the state’s early childhood community will help address operating and facility costs and will support greater access and quality.

For more information on either of these programs contact Nathan at the Chamber EDC office.

TALENT ATTRACTION CAMPAIGN LAUNCHES

In mid-November the Chamber EDC launched its 12th talent attraction campaign. The campaign includes paid Google and Facebook ads as well as YouTube videos featuring Bismarck Mandan residents making a difference in the community. The paid ads coincide with the organic posts produced by Chamber EDC staff. The goal of the campaign is to reach the maximum amount of people to increase awareness of Bismarck Mandan, get people to click through to the BMCEDC website, and market directly to ex-patriots of Bismarck Mandan with the intent to get them to move “home”. Areas of focus for the ads are the states of Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Minnesota, and Illinois. The campaign, which is being done in partnership with KK Bold, will run through the new year.

BUSINESS STARTUP 101 HELD

The Mandan Tomorrow Plan – Economic Opportunity & Prosperity (EOP) Committee, with assistance from the City of Mandan’s Business Development Department and the Bismarck Mandan Chamber EDC, recently held the 9th Annual Business Start-Up 101 Workshop. This free workshop was offered to all residents of Mandan who are considering whether or not to start their own business. Attendees first heard from a panel consisting of resource partners who can aid in business planning and financing, followed by another panel, this one comprised of Mandan business owners and entrepreneurs, sharing their own success stories having already established successful businesses in Mandan. Business Start-Up 101 is part of an ongoing series of business education and outreach activities hosted by the EOP Committee.
