Hall Roberts’ Son, a wholesale distributor of agricultural products, has been named Small Business of the Week by Senator Joni Ernst, chair of the Senate Small Business and Entrepreneurship Committee. The business was established in 1864 as a family-run general mercantile company and now serves customers in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois.
“Since opening in 1864, Hall Roberts’ Son has continued to harvest success as a wholesale distributor of agricultural products,” said Chair Ernst. “As a family-run business, today’s team continues to plant seeds of service throughout the community, exemplifying the best of American entrepreneurship.”
After being passed down through three generations of the Roberts family, Chris Hoffert is now president. The company has maintained its commitment to community involvement and service for over 160 years while serving the agricultural sector.
Chair Ernst plans to continue recognizing Iowa small businesses with her Small Business of the Week award.
