ROCHESTER, Minn. - Hundreds of small businesses have closed their doors since the pandemic began. For one in Rochester though, it's doing the exact opposite.
Inside the new Jack's Bottle Shop, you'll find craft beer from local breweries, Little Thistle, Thesis and LTS. The owner, Jack Lester, is no stranger to craft beer. He worked at Forager Brewery for five years and began working on this project about a year ago. He explained starting a business helped him stay busy, but it's also helping out other businesses currently struggling. "I'm hoping it can give people a lot of light in the midst of a pandemic and also help other local breweries sustain business and keep beer flowing, keep beer being brewed and flowing through their establishment and being able to release a lot of their beer out of my bottle shop," he said.
