There's a business that's been in Williston for 25 years employing 35 people in Williston, that's expanding to Minot, and should be going strong in a couple of months.

Ebel Integrators is taking over the old Pure Honda Building on 20th Ave. They are have five divisions to their company: computers, electrical, phone, audio and visual, and security systems. Dana Ebel says they have been doing some work in the Minot area the past three years, and was time to make the move to Minot. He says signage for Ebel Integrators will go up in a few weeks, and they will be organized and ready to go.

This building on 4th Avenue that used to be Bee's Beer, will soon have an occupant. Remodeling is underway, and Attorney Carrie Francis, should be moved in by November First. Francis, who is orginally from Garrison, has been an attorney in Minot since 2001, she opened the Francis Law Office in 2008. She says she needed to re-locate to a larger space, and this is a good location at a busy intersection. A major project has been underway at Behm's Truck Stop on Highway 2 and 52 West. Manager Jason Behm says they have updated all the pumps as well as added more, for both gas and diesel. Plus, remember that fire at the Country Kitchen Oct. 6th. He says they had to fix the roof and order new kitchen fans, but he hope's to have the restaurant open by next week sometime.

In October, most of us are not thinking about the prom, but they are at Mary Me Bridal. The prom shop is already open, which is earlier in the season than usual. Mary Keller says that's because they have a lot of Canadians that come to Minot for dress shopping due to the strong dollar.
