Second Wave Super Star: The Sugar Bear

This is the first in an occasional series: Second Wave Super Stars. Our first Super Star is The Sugar Bear, which re-opened with a bang – thanks to Facebook. Super Stars are businesses that when compared to others are growing faster, adding more staff and expanding their space to keep up. They also have a story to tell about how they got there. Kelle Barr takes us inside the renovations at The Sugar Bear in Paw Paw.
