Long Standing Pizza Restaurant Thrives Under New Owner

Seth Bercier, owner of D&B Pizza in the rural community of Rolla, North Dakota, worked for the business for several years before buying it and taking over. He knew all the processes in the kitchen but needed help with the business side of things — business planning, payroll, accounting, and operations. He's thankful the ND SBDC was there to assist.

Jawaid Surani Finds Success with Trampoline Park

You could say Jawaid Surani was born to be an entrepreneur. The 44-year-old started his first business as a teenager. There have been many since. Most recently, Safari Trampoline Park. This sprawling indoor playland offers trampolines, arcade games, bumper cars, VR games & a restaurant. “I didn’t think I could build this,” he said. “I started believing after I had a meeting with Keith. I had a business plan in my head. But I did not know how to put it on paper. Keith helped me with everything.”
