The first Business Happy Hour of 2025 was a night to remember! On Wednesday, January 22nd, we gathered at Approve Plumbing's new facility in Gilbert to celebrate their continued growth and learn more about their incredible contributions to the Iron Range community.

Attendees enjoyed a warm welcome and delicious food, courtesy of Approve Plumbing staff. The menu featured items purchased from Laurentian Chamber members, emphasizing our shared commitment to supporting local businesses. Adding to the fun, a unique 'sink full of alcohol' kept the drinks flowing and the conversations lively throughout the evening.

We were thrilled to hear from Luke and the Approve Plumbing team about the company's impressive history and exciting future. Since its founding in 1990, Approve Plumbing has grown to a an 8-member team, providing top-notch plumbing repair, water heater repair, hydronic heating services, and much more. Their dedication to customer service and expertise in the industry is evident, and their plans for further expansion promise even more impact across the region.

During the event, Approve Plumbing also highlighted the perks of their Diamond Club Membership, which offers exclusive benefits to their loyal customers. If you're looking for reliable, high-quality plumbing services, this is a membership worth exploring!

In addition to celebrating Approve Plumbing, we were excited to announce that all Breakfast Connections and Business Happy Hour events in 2025 will now have no cost entry for attendees. This change reflects our ongoing mission to make networking and community-building opportunities accessible to everyone.

A huge thank you to Luke and the rest of the Approve Plumbing team for hosting us and starting the year off on such a high note. Their hospitality and dedication to their craft left us inspired and excited for what's ahead.

Be sure to join us for our next Business Happy Hour event on Wednesday, February 26th at the Eveleth Elks building hosted by Miners National Bank of Eveleth. Find more information and pre-register on our website.
