Another month in the Castle Country Area means the selection of another Small Business of the Month courtesy of the Driggs Mortgage Team. This month earning the honor was NXT LVL Phone Repairs owned and operated by Fernando Funes. 

Gregg Driggs, the branch manager for the Driggs Mortgage team explained the process behind selecting the business of the month,” obviously they’re small, they’re locally owned, but they’re somebody that cares about our community. They put the customer before making money.”

In regards to this, Driggs shared what set NXT LVL apart this month,” I’ve got a daughter in college and she broke her phone and it was just the worst thing. Of course, the worst thing that can happen to a college kid is to have their phone broken. He came to our house, got the phone and fixed it.” He continued,” In fact, he just got back from going to the hospital because somebody in the hospital had broken their phone. So he went and got the phone. He’s fixing it right now.

Driggs also took the time to discuss what it means to him to be able to uplift small businesses,” we just really love living here in Carbon County and I graduated from Emery High School. So we love both counties here. We think they are extra special. We think the people who have businesses here are also extra special and we want to help promote them. The whole idea here is to try to promote small businesses and support each other.

NXT LVL was celebrated on Monday, Aug. 26 with a “Beat the Heat” event where people could stop by for a free Popsicle. NXT LVL Phone Repairs is located at 79 W Main St, in Price, Utah. The shop can be reached by phone at (435) 630-6594 or on their Facebook page here.
