We love to drink local, especially hot cocoa after a day of skiing at Spirit Mountain. If you are like us you probably have tried to find the best hot cocoa. Look no further! We have found a superior cocoa mix, and best yet – it’s made here in Duluth!
Every city and town has an identity. Whether it be a brand, a slogan, or that one thing that makes it unlike anywhere else.
One characteristic that much of the Duluth community seems to identify with is: local. There is a big support system between local businesses and their patrons. Stores pay close attention to the needs of their customers, turning consumer-buyer relationships into something more.
There are so many great shops to go to on Small Business Saturday! To help you find the best places we compiled this list! If you know of something happening that we missed please email us at hello(at)duluthloveslocal.com

Taking advantage of the great weather in Duluth we went out with Jodi, owner of E3 Twin Ports, to explore Kingsbury Creek up to the Superior Hiking Trail! Jodi took us to a location none of us had been to in West Duluth and guided us through the hike. Once we were ready for a break Jodi had us stand in a circle to go over things we can do in our daily life to have happier and healthier lives. This included actions inspired by TED talks like snaps, hugs and cheering that left us feeling refreshed. Scroll down to learn more about Jodi and E3 Twin Ports.
This week’s entrepreneur sure stays busy. Between creating custom furniture at Duluth Barrel Works and producing some of the best honey (ever), Jon Otis has a positive impact on our local community. Both Jon and his wife, Erin, are business owners, so we’ve interviewed them independently to get their own perspective on our fair city.
