A publication of the St. Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce, Business Central Magazine was established in January 2000 and has been produced bi-monthly ever since. The goal of the magazine is to provide reliable local business information to companies in Central Minnesota.
Business Central Magazine is at the top of its class. Only about eight percent of all new magazines survive past three years, and Business Central is well past that mark, making us a true industry leader! In fact, our readers agree with this assessment. Our most recent readership survey shows that since our inaugural issue in January 2000 we have seen a steady increase in the length of time our readers spend looking at the magazine, the percent of the magazine they read, and the number of people they share it with.
As the original business publication of Central Minnesota, Business Central Magazine is often imitated but never duplicated. Our focus is on the business people of Central Minnesota – the faces and the voices that make this a great place to live, work, and do business. We continue to grow by adding fresh editorial content and creating innovative advertising opportunities that work for businesses in Central Minnesota.
