Superior Meats owner honored by Small Business Association

Jerry Stroot, the owner of Superior Meats, has been named Montana’s Small Business Person of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration. This prestigious recognition highlights Stroot’s outstanding contributions to his community and the local economy.

With over 34 million small businesses operating across the United States, small businesses are vital to job creation and economic growth. In fact, small businesses accounted for two-thirds of net new jobs over the past 25 years, and more than half of the U.S. labor force works for or owns a small business.

During National Small Business Week (May 4-10), the SBA honors entrepreneurs who have made significant achievements in their fields. Since 1964, the president has issued a proclamation recognizing the invaluable role that small business owners play in driving the economy forward.
