One of many positive things I can share is the sense of pride that there is to be working for a family-owned business that has served the Central Minnesota area, and beyond, for over 50 years. The Bechtold Family has been a joy to work with/for, and also get to know. I am proud of telling family and friends who I work for, and proud of what we represent in our community and beyond.
