Northeast Iowa Greenhouse Latest Sen. Ernst Small Business of the Week

U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, has announced the selection of a northeast Iowa business as her latest Small Business of the Week.

That honor goes to Corner Market & Greenhouse in Oelwein in Fayette County. 

 Ernst says, “Corner Market and Greenhouse is an outstanding Iowa small business that exemplifies their un-be-leaf-able American entrepreneurial spirit by generously planting roots in the community through flower donations and greenhouse tours. For over three decades, Paul and Linda (Manske) have built the business from the ground up, branching out, and pruning away inefficiency by modernizing their greenhouses with cutting-edge agricultural technology.”

Founded in 1994 by Paul and Linda Manske to provide families with a community-focused store to meet every gardening need, Corner Market & Greenhouse has grown to become a beloved local institution within the Oelwein community. The business is renowned for its small-town hospitality and big-city variety. For 32 years, the Manskes have worked to bring every Iowan’s backyard to life, carrying seasonal flowers, plants, and décor.

Throughout the 119th Congress, Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa’s 99 counties.
