August Small Business of the Month: SchugAwards.com. From a tiny basement corner to a 4,000-square-feet shop with two stunning merchandise showrooms. From one hand engraver to seven computerized machines. And from 1976’s choice of trophies and plaques to today’s lineup of thousands of gift, award and advertising items. That’s the success story for SchugAwards.com, the Chamber’s Small Business of the Month for August. More.
