Beachwood Company Named to Case's Weatherhead 100

One Wish LLC, the parent company of four e-commerce sites, ranks No. 26 on the list of Northeast Ohio's Fastest Growing Companies

In the '90s, One Wish began as a Cleveland-area jazz band. Now, it's also the name of one of Northeast Ohio's fastest growing companies. Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead 100 ranked the Beachwood firm No. 26 on its annual list of emerging companies in the region. One Wish is the parent company of four e-commerce websites — Audimute Acoustic Panels, Audimute Soundproofing, Medic Batteries and Retrofit LED Lights. President Mitch Zlotnik's team of 25 employees operates One Wish's websites, produces its products and ships them from the company's offices at 23495 Mercantile Road, Suite H. The orders of acoustic sound panels, batteries and soundproofing kept the employees busy — and profitable — in 2012. According to the Weatherhead…

Beyond Christmas Ale: Try Hard Ciders, Belgium and Pumpkin Beers

Local craft beer aficionados share their holiday favorites to help you expand your beer palate. And you can get them close to home.

Rozi's Wine & Liquor House Inc. 14900 Detroit Ave.  Lakewood 216-221-1119 Rozi's Manager Bill Barak gave us the rundown between the two general classifications of Christmas-time beers, Christmas or spiced and winter warmers. “Winter warmers are scotch ales or strong ales. Basically they are heavier more malty. They warm your belly. They are thick and thus take longer to get through. “Then you have your Christmas beers which are spice beers. The actual classification is spice or vegetable beers is the broad style.” In his opinion Ohio is the leader of the spice beers as far as Christmas ales go. There really aren't other areas that produce it or produce it as well as we do, he said. Winter warmer craft beer selection: Breckenridge Christmas…

Tom, I hope I didn't imply there was a decision for Patch to shift its focus away from local news -- there wasn't. There was a company-wide decision to cover the elections closely, especially with so many Presidential candidate appearances in northeast Ohio, which did generate a LOT of debate in our Comments section.

Critter Corner: Local Businesswoman is 'Sew' Into Cats and Dogs

Close knit family offers ideas and support.

It is not often that opportunity knocks — sometimes it pants, barks and wags too. Not many years ago Marsha Hotchkiss was working in an office and would go home to be with her two- and four-legged family and enjoy her hobbies of knitting and sewing in her free time. When the office was downsized, Hotchkiss, like many others, started looking at the job market, but nothing beckoned. One day she was brainstorming with her son, and he said offhandedly "Why not sew coats for dogs?" The rest may be called history for this burgeoning home-based business. Although it may seem a straight forward progression, the beginning of the business started with a good deed several years before. When the Hotchkiss Shelties were getting older they asked the …
