Made in the USA? These companies do one better: Made in the Ozarks.
The American Independent Business Alliance finds that $48 of every $100 spent at local businesses recirculates locally, compared with $14 spent at chains.
For these six companies, starting their own business and manufacturing products in the Ozarks is a point of pride and integral to their business identities.
Utah-based gourmet cookie chain Crumbl Cookies opened its first Springfield shop; interior design business Branson Upstaging LLC relocated; and Lauren Ashley Dance Center LLC added a second location.
