Pam Hubbard opened Shop on the Corner at 612 Cloquet Avenue in downtown Cloquet just before the fourth of July in 2023. Shop on the Corner is a specialty gift shop featuring local handmade products made by local artists and craftspeople. They also offer vintage items, repurposed furniture and antiques. In the future, they hope to add more Antiques and the Bergquist family will soon be adding Scandinavian products as well. The customer following is growing with appreciation for the variety, reasonable prices, and beautiful store layout.
Hubbard, a talented graphic artist, sews, paints, makes hats, designs print letterhead and business cards, and sublimation design. She grew up on the Iron Range in Aurora, Minnesota and has been in Cloquet for over sixteen years. For the past five years, she has been an event planner coordinating craft shows at the Cloquet Armory and Pine Tree Plaza.
Shop on the Corner hosts over 75 vendors and is selective with artists they chose from, ensuring a good selection for men, women, and children. Passionate entrepreneur Pam Hubbard says the Shop will offer classes and hopefully in the future she will get the commercial kitchen back into certified operation to offer deli sandwiches, soup, and French pressed coffee.
“I’ve always dreamed of owning a shop like this! There isn’t another art shop like this around for miles. The dream of Shop on the Corner came together so quickly and naturally. Everything really fell into place like it was divine intervention. I feel so very blessed and a little lucky that I have great connections. I’ve always been a networker and I’m not afraid to talk to people, ask for help or put myself out there. I think I got that from my dad,” said owner Pam Hubbard.
