An unexpected architectural gem tucked inside the Partnership Industrial Center West at 2240 N. Alliance Ave., the Kuat Racks headquarters and warehouse is surrounded by paths for biking and walking, a disc golf course, community garden and dog park. Inside and out, the company culture reflects the vigorous outdoor lifestyle typified by its product, car-mounted hitch racks for bikes. Angela Jackson, executive associate, says people don’t have to embrace an outdoor lifestyle to be hired on at the company – but eventually, most of them seem to.
Plaza Shopping Center gained an arcade with the March 1 opening of The Flying Lap LLC; the repurposing of space operated by Burrell Behavioral Health resulted in the March 18 opening of the company’s second autism center; and a group of downtown business owners teamed up to reopen J.O.B. Public House.
