Cross-Cultural Small Business Wins Retailer of the Year Award at 2019 Made in Montana Tradeshow

Helena business Sage and Oats Trading Post and its owners, Major and Michelle Robinson, have been honored by their peers as the 2019 Made in Montana Retailer of the Year.

Each year, Montana retailers are nominated by their peers in communities across the state to receive this prestigious award. This year, there was overwhelming support for Sage and Oats.

Lt. Gov. Mike Cooney and Department of Commerce Director Tara Rice presented the award to the Robinsons at the Made in Montana Tradeshow reception on Friday.

“Major and Michelle truly represent what it means to be Made in Montana members,” said Lt. Gov. Cooney. “Sage and Oats is a small business success story itself, and it’s also a wonderful showcase of the authentic American Indian products being made by artisans and other producers across the state.”
