The Golden Cone Receives
Vision 2017 Grants
Pizza and ice cream is a combination enjoyed by many people. Bart and Sue Mattson
have created that combination—in their case
frozen custard—at 1063 E. Green Bay Street
in Shawano. That’s the location of the
Mattsons’ first business Papa Murphy’s
Pizza which they opened in 2014. This summer they opened The Golden Cone within
the same building. “The Golden Cone just
seemed to be the perfect complement to our
Papa Murphy’s business. We felt Shawano
needed a place to get high quality frozen
custard,” said Bart Mattson. The Golden
Cone has received façade and interior grants
totaling $7,500 through Shawano Country
Vision 2017. The matching grants were
awarded to help cover costs for the buildout . Improvements included updating electrical, plumbing and HVAC, lighting, and
new signage. “These grants allowed us to do
things the rights way which will improve our
chance for success,” added Mattson. The
Golden Cone employs 15 part-time workers
and specializes in cones, sundaes, smoothies,
and shaved ice.
According to Dennis Heling, chief economic
development officer for Shawano County
Economic Progress, in order for a business to
increase sales they can work to get more
customers and/or encourage customers to
purchase additional products. This project
will accomplish both. “The decision to add a
complementary business was a smart one for
the Mattsons. Papa Murphy’s has established
a loyal customer base. Adding The Golden
Cone has the potential to increase sales per
customer and also attract new customers,”
said Heling.
Since 2013, 43 grants totaling $125,000 have
been awarded to small businesses through
the Vision 2017 Façade and Interior Grant
programs. This has stimulated total capital
investment of over $995,000. Grants have
been awarded to businesses throughout Shawano County in the communities of Tigerton, Wittenberg, Gresham, Eland, Bonduel,
and Shawano.
Any employer or entrepreneur operating in
Shawano or Menominee Counties can apply
for Shawano Country Vision 2017 grant
programs. To determine if your project or
business development idea is eligible contact
Dennis Heling at 715 -526-5839,
scepi@frontiernet.net or Nancy Smith at

Chief Economic Development Officer
Shawano Country Vision 2017 is a five-year economic development plan strategically designed to
address various needs of area businesses and communities. The plan’s overall goal is to spur capital
investment and grow the economy by implementing specific action steps in key areas, including
business expansion, attraction and recruitment;
tourism/retail development, workforce issues, and
community development.
This plan was initiated four years ago by the board
of directors of Shawano County Economic Progress Inc. and the Shawano Country Chamber of
Commerce to proactively tackle economic challenges including several plant closures, job losses,
and lower than average per capita income. It serves
as one resource for future growth and prosperity
and a stronger economic climate for Shawano and
Menominee Counties.

the irate customer; overcoming stress and burnout; handling the ten most difficult customers.
Some disturbing service facts:
FACT: 96% of unhappy customers never complain about discourtesy,
but 91% of them will not buy again from a business that offended them.
FACT: Customers who encounter poor service tell an average of 11
other people about their bad experience.
FACT: 68% of customers who stop doing business with a company do
so because of perceived indifference -- nobody cares.
Presented by:
FACT: Courting new business can cost up to five times more than
strengthening relationships with current clients.

Ground was broken for a new Stockbridge Munsee Community elderly services center following a tribal blessing on Friday, July 29 th. The project is
over 7,200 square feet, consisting of multipurpose space for daily dining
services and hosting occasional community events. Other key features include a large stone fireplace separating a lounge and large seating area, a
commercial grade kitchen, professional meeting areas and a covered driveup/drop off area. The new building will connect two existing elderly apartments and is meant to replace the current forty-year-old elderly center. The
center will provide the elderly community with daily meal services, socialization, educational and health safety events, registration for benefits and will
greatly enhance the quality of life as a centralized area of activities for the
tribal elders. Bayland Buildings, Inc. is the general contractor for the project.
Construction is expected to be complete in the winter of 2016.
