Astoria businesses win awards
Three Astoria businesses
won awards from Oregon
Main Street’s annual Excel-
lence in Downtown Revital-
ization.
Mo’s Chowder, Good to Go
and Gimre’s Shoes were rec-
ognized with dozens of oth-
er projects across the state.
Awards were announced last
month.
Mo’s, a restaurant in down-
town Astoria, won for Best
Adaptive Reuse. The restau-
rant filled a large vacancy
left when Englund Marine
relocated out of downtown.
The former warehouse now
houses a restaurant seating
160 people and a chowder
production plant.
The $3 million expansion
created 30 full-time and 40
part-time jobs.
Good to Go won the award
for Best New Business. Own-
ers Heidi and Dan Dlubac re-
habilited a downtown bakery
into a successful take-out and
snack venue.
Gimre’s, the oldest fami-
ly-owned shoe store west of
the Rockies, won Retailer of
the Year. Gimre’s was found-
ed in 1892 by the grandfather
of Pete Gimre, current owner.
