7. What more would you like to see the Chamber do?
We would be interested to know if we can be listed under multiple categories within the chamber business directory as our current categorization doesn’t capture the scope of our business.
We are currently only listed under “shopping and specialty retail”.
We would like to be listed under “Business and professional services”, “Utilities and environment” and “Real estate moving and storage” as we help businesses move, handle waste and recycling, can store product, and offer interior design services for office furniture.
I think this would help give OFR a more balanced presence in the chamber that is a little more representative of our offered services.

UIU Madison Center is just excited to work in conjunction with the SP community.

My husband and I started The Baker's Table of Sun Prairie during the height of the pandemic after I was furloughed from my job at the time. What started as a hobby that I would periodically post about on social media quickly grew into a small business that can now be found at the Sun Prairie Farmer's Market on Saturdays in the Summer months.

From our ingredients to our location, we would not be anywhere if not for the love and support of the folks of Sun Prairie.
