Fixes Fixed It - Apartment Scenting
A property manager from an apartment complex in Spring Park came to us with a serious concern, unpleasant odors in the building were turning away prospective tenants. She partnered with us and had professional air deodorizers installed throughout the property.
That very same day, during a tour with a potential tenant, she received an unexpected compliment on how fresh the building smelled and the tenant signed a lease on the spot! What was once a major pain point has now become one of the property’s biggest selling points.

Customer Spotlight - Big Bore Barbecue Co.
Big Bore Barbecue is located in Hanover, MN, and was opened by owner, Chad Brink. Chad and his family have lived in Hanover for many years, and he wanted to give back to his community by using his passion for Texas barbecue. Their meats are locally and sustainably sourced, and the restaurant prides itself on its 100% wood fired pit barbecue.
Fikes of Minnesota and Big Bore Barbecue have been partners since Big Bore opened in 2020. Fikes has provided Big Bore with restroom sanitation services as well as eco-friendly food service products. “In the restaurant world, things can change and shift quickly, and Fikes MN ALWAYS has our back! We are beyond loyal to them and appreciate our partnership,” says Alisha Heath of Big Bore.
Big Bore Barbecue is a favorite eatery for several Fikes employees, including Matt Westerman, who says Big Bore reminds him of being home in Texas. For more information about Big Bore and to see their menu, check out their website! https://www.bigborebarbecue.com/
