Town & Country Credit Union Named #1 Credit Union
The team at Town & Country Credit Union is on a mission larger than finances. They’re on a mission to make a Positive Impact on the members, employees and communities they serve.
“As a financial partner, we’re able to have an impact on our members’ lives through all the big and small milestones – from buying their first car, to purchasing a home, to saving for their children’s future – and everything in between,” said Jeremiah Kossen, President/CEO of Town & Country Credit Union. “Plus, as an employer and local business, we have the ability to greatly impact the lives of our employees and our communities as a whole. We take that responsibility very seriously and our team is on a mission to make a Positive Impact at every turn.”
Town & Country opened their third branch in Minot this fall, Town & Country Dakota Square, just west of Target.
Town & Country Credit Union members have taken notice. According to a member survey, 96% of Town & Country members would recommend the credit union to a friend or family member, and they have been! Member referrals fuel much of Town & Country Credit Union’s growth, helping to make them the fastest growing credit union in North Dakota according to NCUA call report data for the second year in a row.
So, what makes Town & Country Credit Union worth telling your friends and family about? It could be that they cut over 22 fees in the past two years, or that they offer free rewards checking accounts with ATM fee refunds, or even that their Platinum credit card comes with rewards and low interest rates. Regardless of what your favorite benefit is, one thing is for sure, their exceptional service and meaningful value their members keep coming back for more. “Thank you to everyone who voted for us again this year,” said Kossen. “It makes us proud to know that community members and our credit union members recognize us as the #1 Credit Union in Minot. We look forward to continuing to earn that title each and every day.”
For more information on which Town & Country Credit Union products and services could positively impact you, stop by one of our three Minot locations, visit townandcountry.org, or call 800-872-6358.
Jeremiah Kossen, President/CEO, joins Town & Country Credit Union Board members in presenting a $50,000 donation to the Magic City Discovery Center staff and Board.

Jerome’s voted
BEST COLLISION CENTER Oh my! The excellence continues. Jerome's Collision Center has once again been voted the No. 1 collision center in Minot. That's 11 consecutive years!
A big reason why, says owner Jay Lundeen, is that Jerome's has been able to maintain a consistent level of commitment to being a premier collision repair shop. The repair process and techniques have definitely evolved over the years. All of our technicians take continuing education classes and are certified. We are an I-Car Gold Certified Shop which meets the highest standards in our industry. Our office staff is highly professional, good listeners and always have the customer's best interests in mind. Everyone at Jerome's strives to win in both their personal and professional lives and I am proud of all of them. That attitude shows in our customer service as well. Our repeat business is awesome and we are always cognizant of every customer's needs and expectations. Our goal is to go above and beyond! We are not perfect but one thing we will always do is take care of what we have to take care of. There is not much that comes in here that we can't do. That is something I am very proud of! There isn't a place like ours in the Midwest.
11th year in a row!
We've had folks come in from other places and they can't believe there's a shop like this in North Dakota. It is unique not only for our community, but unique for our whole state. It's because of the diversity of what we can do. Customers have come to trust Jerome's for doing excellent repair work in a timely manner. With all the variables present in automotive repair, the answer not always an easy one. However, Jerome's staff works to insure complete repairs in as timely a manner as possible. "In this world we live in where everybody is working and doing their thing, it's very important that you are accurate when you say something is going to be done," said Lundeen. "We're not perfect, but we work on it and strive for it and conscious of it every day." They provide a high level of service that is expected by customers trusting a prized possession, their automobile, to the care of expe-
rienced collision center technicians. While quality work is a given at Jerome's there's much more that goes into earning a customer's trust and the title of Best Collision Center in Minot. "It isn't just fixing a car or truck. We humanize it in the respect that we're working with the person driving that vehicle," explained Lundeen. "We're making that their situation, their life, their getting to work and the stress of it all isn't as stressful as it could be. We make an effort to do that so they don't have to think about it. I think that's the biggest thing that separates us from others." Vehicle accidents are often very emotional experiences. Drivers and passengers can be adversely effected beyond concerns about a damaged ride and getting it repaired. "They can be a little shook up, such as getting a fender bender while taking the kids to
school," said Lundeen. "The stress response to that is still there a couple of hours later. How you treat that person is a big deal." Customers are treated right at Jerome's. Their staff of understanding professionals works closely with all customers, consistently earning the trust of those who place the care of their vehicle to a collision center. At Jerome's the trust is earned every day. "We pay attention. It's not just customer service. That's a cliche, but really connecting with our customer on a personal level and understanding what they are going through. What we do and how we do it is all predicated on that, how we keep them informed and communicate with them when their vehicle leaves the shop." It is that level of commitment to customers and quality that pushes Jerome's to be the best collision center in the region. It is why Jerome's Collision Center has once again been fittingly recognized by customers as number one in Minot. I would like to leave you with a couple of winter driving tips. Always make sure your windows are defrosted and when entering an intersection exercise caution…Or we may meet by accident!

EXPERIENCE THE BEST AT MINOT'S TOP BAKERY, where customers are offered a wide assortment of authentic baked goods unlike any other available in the city — or the state, for thatmatter. That customers will return on a regular basis is assured after a single taste of the bread, pastries or crepes offered by a true European-style bakery.
Chef and owner Rezarta Dibra arrives at work at 4:30 every morning, mixing an array of quality ingredients in order to produce the perfect product. Though trained at New York's International Culinary Center, her upbringing in Albania was the real beginning for her love of bread.
There, bread making is an art; it is the centerpiece of the table; a warm, crusty loaf that brings family together and is an essential part of every meal. From that tradition Dibra developed a passion for baking that has become an unmatched skill, and at Minot's Daily Bread, the baking that starts early each morning continues throughout the day.
Customers are treated to the most delectable layered pastries, from familiar favorites like croissants and Danish, to a changing rotation of Cruffins, scones, muffins, tarts and more. There is also an impressive crepe station, where skilled employees push out a variety of sweet or savory folded delights.
And while many staples are always available, you never know what exciting concoctions Dibra was inspired to make each morning, so every visit can yield a new surprise.
Not only are fresh loaves of assorted breads ready for purchase, but more bread is baked late morning for the foundation of a changing assortment of delicious sandwiches like Caprese, Italian, pesto chicken or roasted pork.
Open for breakfast and lunch, MDB has an expansive menu the brings our city the best European concoctions. No ingredient is left to chance; European-style butter makes pastries extra flaky, Valhrona chocolate punctuates many sweet treats, and all can be enjoyed with La Colombe coffee, a rich, bold brew that started in Philadelphia and is now served in the best shops on the East Coast, from Boston to New York to D.C.
Fresh orange juice is pressed to order, teas are imported from France, and true Italian Espresso is the foundation for many drinks handcrafted on an authentic Italian-style espresso machine.
The bakery even offers an incomparable selection of imported Italian desserts, perfect for immediate indulgence or to take home for special occasions.
Everything at Minot's Daily Bread is authentic and done by hand, offering lucky locals a place to enjoy the tastes of Europe right here in the Magic City.
Minot's Daily Bread is located at 1500 South Broadway and is open from 6:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. MondaySaturday.

THANK YOU MINOT!
We would like to say Thank You to everyone for voting Broadway Bean and Bagel "Minot's Favorite Coffee Shop!"
Our customers are truly amazing and we are honestly honored to be chosen for this award.
This year we celebrate 25 years of being in the Minot community! Started in 1995 under the name Bagel Stop we have grown and adapted to the Broadway Bean listening to what our customers have wanted in a Coffee Shop. Now being able to roast all of our coffee in house making sure to control from bean to cup every step of the way. It shows in our signature espresso that is never over-roasted leaving a bright deep shot. Which makes our lattes and mochas incredible and doesn't leave a bitter after taste. Our incredible team makes all the things possible at Broadway Bean and we look forward to continue to grow with this amazing community we call home!

LEADING THE WAY
Murphy Motors and Jason Soine have been friendly fixtures in Minot since 2003. Soine worked for the former owners of next-to-new car business until acquiring the dealership a few years ago. “I have been here for 16 years. My father-in-law, Wade Bjorgen, and I purchased Murphy Motors,” said Soine. “We continue to provide the great service you all know and love.” Customers agree. They have voted Murphy Motors number one in their business category. The reasons why are many, one of which is personal service and attention to detail. “We’ve always had that small town feeling in a big town dealership,” said Soine. Soine grew up in Ray, a small town in the northwestern part of the state, so it is not surprising that he has brought that “small town feeling” with him to Murphy Motors. It’s the kind of sincere approach that nextto-new car buyers greatly appreciate. Today’s car buyers, says Soine, expect nothing less than great service and Murphy Motors does not disappoint. They have a man Soine calls “the best detail guy in the state,” Ruben Werre. Werre meticulously prepares each vehicle that arrives onto the lot, making certain it is as clean as possible and in excellent working order. Sharp, top running vehicles are a must at Murphy Motors. One of the important things for Murphy Motors is to have vehicles for sale that have minimal mileage on them and are in great condition. If a vehicle doesn’t meet those standards you won’t find them on the Murphy Mo-
tors lot. Customer satisfaction comes first. “We’ve got a pretty good reputation here for taking care of our customers and that’s not going to stop,” pledged Soine. Taking good care of customers has long been a priority for Tami Holte too. Holte manages the business office at Murphy Motors, much to the benefit of customers. She utilizes several different lending institutions to secure financing for vehicle purchases and handles the necessary paperwork to insure an effortless buying experience. While Murphy Motors welcomes customers to see their next-to-new vehicles on their lot at 1738 South Broadway, many car shoppers today choose to shop vehicles on-line where Murphy Motors has what Soine calls a “huge” presence. Often that results in customers arriving at the dealership knowing exactly what vehicle or vehicles they would like to see. “They’ve got their car picked out before they come here,” said Soine. “A lot of times they know more about it than we do. They’ve researched it. There’s not a whole lot of kicking tires anymore.” All the more reason, says Soine, to make certain all Murphy Motors vehicles are first-rate rides and road ready. “We’d like you to be able to drive one of our cars to Texas tomorrow and not worry about it,” explained Soine. “Neither I nor the customer have to worry about our cars after we check them over.” With that kind of commitment, there’s no question that Murphy Motors is the right choice, the Readers’ Choice, when shopping for a next-to-new vehicle.

Fred & Sheri Lien As a 6 time Readers’ Choice Award Winner, we would like to thank you all for your many years of support! Lien’s Jewelry and the Lien family, a fixture in Downtown Minot since 1990, have been serving north central North Dakota for 117 years. O.S. Lien opened his first jewelry store in Omemee, ND in October of 1903. He moved the store to Bottineau in 1921, where his son Alden trained to be a jeweler and watchmaker as well. O.S. and his wife Alice operated the Bottineau location until the 1970s. Alden and his wife Pearl opened a 2nd location of Lien’s Jewelry in Rugby in 1938. Their son Fred, Sr. was trained as a jeweler and watchmaker at Elgin Watch College in 1959, and joined his mother in running the family business. Fred and his wife Jan took over operation of
the store in Rugby, eventually moving it to Minot in 1990. Fred, Jr. completed his training as a jeweler and watchmaker at Gem City College in 1986, but credits his father for teaching him the art of the trade. Fred’s wife Sheri joined the family business in 1995. Fred & Sheri took the helm in 2005, and are proud to carry on the family’s heritage. “As the 4th generation, we have always strived to offer the same friendly, personal service that has become synonymous with the Lien family name. As always, we are here to assist you with all of your jewelry needs.” For experience, quality, and service you can trust, shop Lien’s Jewelry, where “Our reputation shines as brightly as our diamonds.”
