Jon Wick was the star of episode No. 81 of the ButteCast.
In that episode, we discussed Jon’s Wisconsin roots and how he is even more badass than the John Wick played by Keanu Reeves in the movies. Our Jon Wick does not need an H to spell his first name.
Today, we talk about Jon the small-business owner. Along with his wife, Cassie, Jon owns and operates 5518 Designs on Main Street. A few years ago, they also opened Dig City Supply around the corner on Park Street.
Last month, the Wick’s celebrated their ninth anniversary in the 5518 Designs building that sits right above the new M&M. Now, they are beginning a yearlong celebration for their 10th anniversary. They are not just going to celebrate their birthday; they are going to have a party that lasts all year long.
The first way to celebrate is by offering a subscription box to customers. Subscribers will receive a surprise delivery every month at a killer discount. That will include some vintage 5518 Designs items, too. You can learn more about that at shop5518.com.
Jon and Cassie also have some other events planned, like special sales, anniversary items and a block party at some point next summer.
Listen in to this episode as Jon talks about the yearlong celebration of 5518 Designs 10th year in business.
Listen in to hear some of the hurdles for small business owners face every day and how 10 years is a milestone that most businesses never see. Listen in as he talks about his employees and how they are constantly working to keep the stores fresh.
