🏪 Local Business Spotlight
Granger’s Main Street was a happening place back in the day—now Vintage Road Coffee Co. is trying to bring some of that charm back! The renovated space is rustic and beautiful with space to sit and chat. Or you can order online, pick it up, and head out for your day. I don’t know about you, but Granger feels a little more legit now with this place in town.

📰 Top Local Stories
• Dallas County keeps growing
Did you know Dallas County is the fastest-growing county not just in Iowa, but in the entire Midwest? We see that growth firsthand, so it may not come as a surprise—but it’s a good reminder that change will be part of our community for a while.
• New Granger City Park
All of that land near the new junior high won’t just be for the school—there are also plans for a city park, expected to be around 26 acres! We can’t wait to watch the progress this spring.
