RED OAK, Iowa - U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Small Business Committee, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Mill Creek Cafe of Cedar County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in each of Iowa's 99 counties.

"Mill Creek Cafe is a soup-er example of the dedication and community spirit that define Iowa small businesses," said Chair Ernst. "Dishing out greatness for over 15 years, Jamie and Marcia have created a welcoming space where neighbors gather to enjoy quality, home-cooked meals, strengthening Clarence one customer at a time."

Founded in 2010 by Jamie Wilhua and Marcia Syring, Mill Creek Cafe offers a rotating six-week menu featuring a wide variety of made-from-scratch meals and desserts. Built to meet the needs of a small town, the cafe has become a local staple known for its warm atmosphere, consistency, and commitment to quality.
