A year of weather in Aldrich

Climate normals for 1991-2020 from Wadena, 10 miles away, put the July average high at 78°F and the January average low at -2°F. Precipitation totals about 29 inches a year, with June the wettest month. Freezing nights (32°F or below) come about 183 times a year. Winter reshuffles demand: snow removal, heating and ice-dam repairs in the cold months, yard work and construction once it thaws. If you offer emergency or same-week service in bad weather, state it clearly and keep the contact form short.

Aldrich’s small businesses and what their websites need

Some of the business types in Wadena County, from the 2023 County Business Patterns:

• Hardware stores (5): departments, store hours and services such as key cutting or rentals.
• Electrical contractors (9): the towns you cover and photos of real installations.
• Auto repair shops (8): the services you do, the makes you work on, your hours and a form to request an appointment.
• Insurance agencies (7): the lines of insurance you write, the carriers you represent and a quote form.
• Pharmacies (5): hours, services such as vaccines, the insurance you accept and a map.

Wadena County as a whole had 399 employer establishments in 2023 and another 1,000 nonemployer businesses, the one-person shops and independent contractors that often have no website at all. Wadena County has four times the national share of nursing and residential care facilities: 18 of them in the 2023 count. In that line of work, families research care for a relative, so the website should show levels of care, photos of the facility, licensing information and how to arrange a visit.

What Minnesota asks of a business with a website

Having a website brings no special license, but these apply to most Aldrich businesses:

• A contact form collects personal information, and Minnesota has a data breach law with deadlines for notifying the people affected. Minn. Stat. 325E.61
• Minnesota’s state sales tax is 6.875%: a 6.5% general rate plus the 0.375% increase required by the Minnesota Constitution. Cities, counties and special districts add local sales taxes on top of it. Minnesota Department of Revenue

This is general information, not legal advice. Your county, your city hall or an attorney can confirm what applies to you.
