“One of the best decisions we made was to stay in Ada,” says Jason Szuch, owner of two Ada-based businesses.
“The hard-working people of Ada separate us from our competitors,” he said, complimenting the work ethic found in his hometown.
Szuch shared his two-business start-up stories with Ada Area Chamber of Commerce members during the April 17 chamber breakfast held at Ada Public Library.
Those businesses are SAY Security Group USA, and Hospitality Wi-Fi, both located at 520 E. Montford Ave., in the Ada industrial park
