hen i called marcella Costin to set up an interview, I was planning for it to be over the phone. I thought it’d be pretty straightforward—Marcella and her husband, John, own five businesses in Cheboygan, including Stormy Kromer Cap & Ale House, one of the Michigan Small Business Development Center’s 2021 Best Small Business award winners. I wanted to know more about them and their vision. So, when Marcella said I really had to come see the businesses in person because they're difficult to describe, I thought she must be exaggerating. I was wrong.
