February: Closer Look

Roaring Angel

Reagan Allen, a born-and-raised Columbian and co-owner of Roaring Angel, says, “Like most businesses, Roaring Angel started out as a faraway fantasy that turned into a thought-out idea that turned into a business plan that eventually turned into a real business.” 

Roaring Angel is an e-commerce business providing loungewear and streetwear meant to be worn inside and outside of the house, dressed up or dressed down. The quality items they provide are thoughtfully crafted with intention, meaning, and care in mind. Each piece strives to tell a story — every item has a quote that is subtly placed on the garment. On November 9, 2021, Roaring Angel officially launched on social media, and on December 23, 2021, the website went live. Roaring Angel is a family affair: Mother-and-daughter duo Julie and Reagan Allen are the primary owners. 

Roaring Angel’s mission? To empower inspired minds, reassure the insecure, and comfort the strong bodies we live in through meaningful apparel and the brand they’ve created. Stay tuned for local pop-up shops.

Yummy’s Donut

Yummy’s Donut has been a well-known business among Boonville residents for about four years, and they’re bringing their delicious treats to Columbia! They are currently planning a grand opening for sometime in February. Yummy’s focuses on handmade donuts made fresh daily, breakfast sandwiches, kolaches, and a gourmet espresso coffee menu. According to Kim Hour, owner of Yummy’s, the shop is best known for their melt-in-your-mouth donuts. 

Yummy’s has always had plans to expand to Columbia ever since opening in Boonville, and 2022 gave them the opportunity to do just that. From your traditional glazed donut to a bacon maple long john donut and everything in between, Yummy’s Donut has a little something for everyone.
