In this episode of Small Business Revolution - Main Street, the team travels to Marshall, Minnesota to help transform Annabella's Italian Restaurant. Founded over 20 years ago by Annabella herself, the restaurant has become a staple in the community, but it's struggling to keep up with the changing times.

Upon arrival, the team meets Annabella, who is struggling to keep the business afloat. Despite her passion for cooking authentic Italian food, Annabella has fallen behind the times in terms of marketing and technology.

Next, the team helps Annabella revamp the restaurant's menu by adding new dishes and tweaking old ones. They also suggest incorporating more local ingredients to showcase the area's farmers and producers. Not only does this add a unique touch to the restaurant, but it also helps to support the local economy.

Another major challenge for Annabella is managing the restaurant's finances. The team works with her to create a budget and track expenses more closely. They also suggest ways to increase revenue, such as offering catering services and hosting private events.

Throughout the episode, the team also helps Annabella with her marketing efforts. They encourage her to use social media to promote the restaurant and connect with customers. They also suggest partnering with local businesses and organizations to cross-promote events and specials.

As the transformation nears completion, Annabella is overwhelmed with gratitude for all the help and support from the Small Business Revolution team. The restaurant has a fresh new look and feel, and Annabella is excited to see what the future holds for her business.
