                         RECOGNIZING MILLHOLLOW

 Mr. RISCH. Mr. President, as a member and former chairman of 
the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, each month 
I recognize and celebrate the American entrepreneurial spirit by 
highlighting the success of a small business in my home State of Idaho. 
Today, I am pleased to honor Millhollow as the Idaho Small Business of 
the Month for July 2024.
  Established in 1982, Millhollow was the first soft-frozen yogurt shop 
in southeast Idaho. Founded by Joe Romney after he moved from San Luis 
Obispo, CA, to Rexburg, ID, the shop brought a ``taste of California,'' 
job opportunities, and real-world experiences to the community and 
Joe's three children. When Joe's son, Aaron, returned from his church 
mission in Argentina, Aaron took over the family restaurant. Over the 
years, Millhollow gained significant popularity, and Aaron and his wife 
Connie decided to expand the restaurant. In 1995, they opened a new 
location in downtown Rexburg, extending the menu to include toasted 
sandwiches, salads, catering, and more.
  Driven by Joe's vision to provide his children with the chance to 
learn about responsibility and instill in them a strong work ethic, 
Millhollow continues to give the next generation an opportunity to give 
back to their community. Aaron and Connie carried forward this ``all 
hands-on deck'' approach to foster a work environment where Idaho's 
youth can actively contribute to the restaurant's operations and 
growth.
  Congratulations to the Romneys and all the employees at Millhollow on 
their selection as the Idaho Small Business of the Month for July 2024. 
Thank you for serving Idaho as small business owners and entrepreneurs. 
You make our great State proud, and I look forward to your continued 
growth and success.
