Century 21 Drive has a video feature (Shopping Local) that we have produced for many years now - where we shine a spotlight on a local business in the region. Recently we decided to evolve it into something new - 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥: 𝐎𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬! We are going to dig deeper into local businesses we all know and love, and find out where they came from, what they learned along the way, the challenges they've had to overcome, and more.

In the very first one, Chris and Ryan sit down with Aron Lundquist of Diamond 7 Meats Inc. to discover the history of this amazing meat processing company. Aron shares the story, starting on the family farm and ending where they are today and touches on the challenges, wins, and adventures along the way. He shares the best advice he ever got in business and talks about how the pandemic affected Diamond 7.

They cover a lot of ground, including:

• The full story from the family ag operation, to Maidstone, to Lloydminster,


• The size of the business, the region it covers, and the services it offers (large animals including wild game during the season),


• Lake season and grad season,


• Business over the pandemic,


• Working in a family business,


• 4-H and why it is important to Aron's family and business,


• The unique challenges of starting a brand new business,


• The best advice Aron ever got in the business world,


• The importance of quality staff that have pride in what they do,


• The smoking and cooking trend that has taken hold, and


• So much more!
