Home Town Inspired: Young Entrepreneurs Invest Time and Energy By Elizabeth Lawliet Business has been growing steadily since Caffix Coffee opened two years ago, but the Basses still face the challenge of proving that you really can get a good cup of coffee in a small town. It’s a challenge that they are glad to face every day at seven a.m. sharp . . . with a cup of coffee. Main Street Wireless – Kirk Friesen Despite the fact that so many of us use electronics on a daily basis, it seems that there are very few of us who know what we are doing. But, alas, getting ahold of one of the knowledgeable sorts generally requires the patience of a saint and a good translator. Why depend on someone an ocean away for technical support when you could call someone just a few minutes away? Why waste gas driving into Joplin when your cellular and Dish needs can be taken care of in Carthage? With the only locally-owned cellular store in Carthage, Kirk Friesen is used to serving a variety of customer needs. Main Street Wireless works with both Verizon Wireless and Dish Network, providing everything from cellular and Internet services to Dish installation and repair. Friesen gets quite a few calls for Dish troubleshooting and repair, which he can usually facilitate much more easily than the big companies can. Friesen knows that purchasing a cellular phone can be a daunting experience. “So many people are just trying to sell you something. My business thrives on actually helping the customers. If I can save them money, that’s better for the community at large,” he reasons. With a firsthand knowledge of the obstacles that local businesses face, Main Street Wireless is a great option for business-to-business cellular service. Also, with the recent implementation of Verizon Wireless' third generation EVDO (Evolution Data Optimized) network in the Joplin area, Friesen says, the company is able to provide wireless access anywhere faster than the competition.
