Orriginals Honored as April Business of the Month in Jamestown

Local Chamber Spotlights Small Business Making a Big Impact

Sometimes the best stories are hiding in plain sight—right on Main Street. For the team behind Orriginals, recognition came not from a viral moment or flashy headline but from consistency, quality, and community care. And now, they’ve got a plaque to prove it.

The Jamestown Area Chamber of Commerce named Orriginals its April 2025 Business of the Month, acknowledging the local favorite for its dedication to fast service, top-tier products, and its role in lifting up the town’s business ecosystem.

A Recognition That’s More Than Just a Plaque

Awards come and go, but this one hits differently.

It’s not just a trophy on a shelf. It’s a nod from neighbors. A thank-you from the town. And for Orriginals, it’s proof that their hustle hasn’t gone unnoticed.

The Chamber’s Ambassadors cited Orriginals’ ability to fill last-minute orders without skipping a beat—an impressive feat in a world where supply chains can turn on a dime. The award also factors in community involvement and positive economic contributions, two areas where Orriginals quietly shines.

They didn’t just win because they sell good stuff. They won because they’re part of the town’s fabric.

What Sets Orriginals Apart from the Rest

Let’s talk about that word: “Orriginals.” It’s more than a clever name.

This business, located at 216 1st Ave. S, leans into originality—both in product and in personality. Locals say they’ve never walked in and walked out disappointed.

Some of the things that customers and community leaders point to include:

Quick turnaround on custom orders
Friendly and accessible customer service
A deep sense of loyalty to Jamestown’s growth

Even during hectic seasons, they get the job done without a fuss. That kind of reliability? It’s golden for small towns where every order, and every dollar, counts.

Behind the Scenes: The People Powering the Success

You can’t talk about Orriginals without mentioning the humans behind the counter.

They’re not just employees. They’re storytellers, artists, problem-solvers. And they remember your name, even if it’s been a minute since your last visit.

There’s something old-school about the way Orriginals runs things. Not outdated—just grounded. Folks say it feels like the kind of place where handshakes still matter, where you can walk in with a vague idea and walk out with exactly what you needed.

They’ve built a business that runs on both precision and personality.

Community Spirit Over Corporate Gloss

Orriginals might not be a national brand, but ask around Jamestown and you’ll hear their name come up a lot. Why? Because they show up.

Whether it’s a high school fundraiser, a city event, or a last-minute print job for a nonprofit, they’re involved. Not for show. Just because that’s how they operate.

Not every business does this. Some do, but not with this level of consistency. It’s part of what set them apart in the Chamber’s eyes and earned them this month’s spotlight.
