U.S. Senator Jim Risch has named the Stagecoach Inn in Garden City as the Idaho Small Business of the Month for February 2025. The announcement highlights the establishment's longstanding presence and contribution to the community, with recognition planned in the Congressional Record of the U.S. Senate.

Senator Risch remarked on the significance of the Stagecoach Inn, stating, “The Stagecoach Inn has been a feature of Idaho’s political and social landscape for decades.” He further noted its history since 1959 and current ownership by Wanda Martinat along with Fred and Francie Oliver. Risch expressed pride in acknowledging this institution as the February Small Business of the Month.

Idaho maintains a reputation as one of the top states for business, and each month, Senator Risch selects an exemplary small business that embodies Idaho's values such as hard work, entrepreneurial spirit, and dedication to community service.
