Self-described elsewhere as co-owned by two named women (Donnabeel Malones and Merilou Rise); recorded conservatively here against the directly-fetched tourism source, which confirms the business but not the owners' names — a good candidate for a stronger direct citation on a future recheck.

A modest, recent claim rather than a long operating history — but sourced to an official municipal economic-development announcement, not popularity or reviews, satisfying the evidence bar for documented regional significance even for a newer business.
