Resource Hub: Small business owners find free assistance at Flathead Valley Community College

Rob Driscoll flips through slides that showcase businesses he has advised during his time as director of the Small Business Development Center in Kalispell.

Stopping at a picture of Costa y Sabor, he points out that the restaurant opened recently in Kalispell on Woodland Park Drive.

“It was the first day, so I went to the grand opening and it was so great. The food is outstanding. We have the only Colombian restaurant in all of Montana,” Driscoll said.

The entrepreneurship center officially opened its doors in November 2025, with space to facilitate small one-on-one meetings between students and mentors or host large group events that allow for conversation, sharing ideas and problem-solving.
