Packed parking lot. For grand opening of Kickass jerky shop in Goodview. The energetic and entrepreneurial jerky-master Jeremy Littel invited vendors to set up tents next door for an early start to the coming weekend’s 100-Mile Garage Sale. Image: Steve Lunde
Jerky joint. Overseeing the tidy sales floor is a Winona-themed mural. Littel sees the shop becoming a must-visit stop for travelers off U.S. Highway 61 in Goodview. The main lure: The beef jerky he’s been seasoning and drying for for years in his home basement. Also his branded cheeses, coffee and snacks. Through a side entrance Littel has his brand-name Black Lantern bourbon and whisky.
