Throughout this Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa's 99 counties.
RED OAK, Iowa - U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Grant Ranch Grub & Pub of Keokuk County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa's 99 counties.
"Grant Ranch Grub & Pub is a shining example of how Iowa hospitality, family tradition, and entrepreneurial perseverance can be sandwiched together to make a big impact," said Chair Ernst. "Through exceptional service, Danette Meyer and her team are serving up hometown flavor one plate at a time."
Originally founded in the late 1960s by Duane and Mary Grant, the Grant Ranch name has long been associated with tradition and community. After changing locations over the decades, the name was revived in 2003 by their daughter, Sherry Fisher. Today, the Grant family's first grandchild, Danette Meyer, continues the legacy and runs Grant Ranch Grub & Pub on Sigourney Square. Offering a full-service dining experience, the small business has quickly become a local favorite.
Stay tuned as Chair Ernst continues to recognize outstanding Iowa small businesses with her Small Business of the Week award.
