Success Starts in Schulenburg
These aren’t just success stories — they’re proof of what’s possible when local vision meets community support. SEDC is proud to help fuel the future of Schulenburg, one idea at a time.


Anytime Fitness
Owner: Chip Bubela
“...their support helped us cross the finish line. Thanks to that last push, we were able to open our doors and give our hometown a place to get healthy, 24/7.”
Bonus Impact: Located in a beautifully restored 1800s-era building, Anytime Fitness brought new life to a cornerstone of downtown — blending history, wellness, and community under one roof.
Apothecary Pharmacy

“...the EDC helped cover critical start-up needs like signage, furniture, and technology — all without requiring a traditional bank loan. That support allowed me to open with confidence...”


Jack & Mary's
Owner: Erin Wotipka
“With support from SEDC, we were able to bring our vision to life — a vibrant community space that offers meaningful work and social opportunities for the young adults in ‘And Then A New Day.’”

Iron Oak Apparel
Owner: Marc Novick, Founder & Owner
"Partnering with the Schulenburg EDC was a phenomenal experience. Through their low-interest loan and beautification grant, we were able to completely transform the aesthetic and feel of a rundown building, breathing new life into a legacy location in our town. It’s incredibly reassuring to work with local folks who truly believe in helping big ideas come to life. The EDC’s support has been invaluable—not just for our business, but for our community as a whole."
