BRAINERD, Minn., Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — Eric Peterson, General Manager of Cragun’s Resort in Brainerd, MN, is one of the most positive people you’ll meet. Give him lemons and he’ll gladly take them and say «Thanks – Free Lemons»! Which is exactly the positive attitude Peterson and Cragun’s have taken during the Coronavirus Pandemic.

This coming winter marks the half-way point of Cragun’s $20 million-dollar resort expansion and improvement project. In late 2015, Cragun’s embarked on an aggressive plan to remodel, replace and add new amenities and lodging to ensure the resort’s continued success. When the pandemic started to slow things down in March, Peterson took the opportunity to ramp up construction in several areas of the resort. This enabled Cragun’s to keep people employed and make significant progress in the improvement plan.

«Over the years, Cragun’s guests have told us how much they appreciate our family friendly atmosphere and the true «up north» experience they receive at the resort,» said Peterson. «We put a plan together that would update Cragun’s public areas, provide more new, larger and improved cabins and upgrade the facilities in our lodge rooms while maintaining the feel our guests love. All of the improvements are designed to fit well with the features that Cragun’s guests enjoy like our mile of sandy beaches, championship golf courses, full-service marina, snowmobiling, ice skating and dining options.»

Cragun’s improvements include the following:

• Public Areas – The Lobby and Lobby Gift Shop were updated to include improved lighting, an expanded gift selection, plus the addition of an interactive television with information on the resort. The lake level Marina received new floors, walls, displays, new bait tank and two new bathrooms. A new signage program was started to aid guests in finding their way around the resort.
• Meeting Rooms – Several meeting rooms received new carpeting, window treatments, doors, trim and furniture. The Lakeshore Meeting Rooms is Cragun’s largest meeting room at 7280 square feet. It can be divided into four separate breakout rooms each featuring a great view of Gull Lake. New carpeting, window treatments, wall finishes, doors, trim and a new fireplace was added.
• Amenities – New summer marina rental equipment has been added including seven new pontoons, four speedboats, jet skis, stand-up paddleboards, row boats, canoes, bicycles and twelve new Polaris snowmobiles. Lodge Room wood burning fireplaces have been converted to electric. The Hungry Gull Food Cart was added for summer beach business and Cragun’s Cabana Café was built at the indoor pool.
• Gull Lake Cruises – Cragun’s purchased the Destiny Cruises luxury yacht «North Star,» renaming the business Gull Lake Cruises. The yacht, docked at Cragun’s Resort, offers both public and private cruises from May through October.
• Legacy Golf Courses – a new fleet of environmentally friendly electric golf carts equipped with GPS was added. All bridges on the courses were repaired or replaced. The Legacy Clubhouse was updated with paint and flooring. Cragun’s Legacy was awarded the Mackenzie Tour – PGA Tour Canada, the first venture into the U.S. Recognized as the CRMC Championship, the tournament will take place August 23-29, 2021 at Cragun’s Legacy Courses.
• Lodging – Cragun’s added six new Bayview Villa lodges each with seven bedrooms and six bathrooms. The new buildings, which overlook Cragun’s south beach, replaced three of the resort’s original cabins. These new larger units are popular with families, golf groups and small corporate groups. With the success of the Bayview Villas, Cragun’s started work on the Hillside Cabins either remodeling or completely rebuilding six of those 12 cabins, each featuring 3-6 bedrooms. The 21 Shoreline Suites were completely updated with new bathrooms, carpet, kitchens, hardgoods, bed configuration, bedding and furniture.

EL PASO, Texas, Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The doors to 1912 are reopening with the highly anticipated renovation of the historic Hotel Paso del Norte, Autograph Collection. After nearly four years and a multi-million-dollar renovation, the 351-room luxury hotel is welcoming locals and travelers to a destination where modern-day luxury inhabits a setting of history and culture. Here, panoramic views of the Franklin Mountains and terraces that overlook the glow of the Mexican border provide a distinct sense of place. Amidst birdcage light fixtures, inspired lounge areas offer retreats, while a thriving culinary scene bursts to life with El Paso’s most extensive list of wines and tequilas, and each room offers a private world of leisure.

«Once in a great while, you happen upon a place that captures time and everything that is good about life,» said Carlos Sarmiento, General Manager of Hotel Paso del Norte, Autograph Collection. «That’s the feeling people experience at Hotel Paso del Norte. Here, everything that is good about life abounds: impeccable architecture, exquisite dining and drinks, friendly people, and the comforts of luxurious amenities. It’s not just an escape, it’s a celebration of living.»

Hotel Paso del Norte’s story aligns with that of the region. Originally opened on Thanksgiving Day in 1912, the hotel was known as the «Showplace of the Southwest.» It was the vision of prominent local businessman, Zack White, to create a first-class hotel that would attract people to the Southwest. He partnered with Trost & Trost Architects of El Paso and Andrews & Company of New York to put form to his vision, ultimately creating a destination that has stood the test of time.

Guests in the early 20th century would drink libations while watching the Mexican Revolution from the hotel’s storied 10th floor. Today, travelers and locals savor the hotel’s elegance while exploring the charms of downtown El Paso or conducting business at the neighboring Judson F. Williams Convention Center. While the hotel is a business, leisure, dining, and event venue unto itself, it is also walkable to entertainment venues, a minor league ballpark, museums, additional restaurants, parks, and the downtown streetcar system.

Lavish amenities include the 10th-floor rooftop pool, boutique, cigar bar, fitness center, and upcoming spa that includes a state-of-the-art salt therapy room. Adding to the elegance are beautifully preserved features that flourish throughout the hotel such as a Tiffany-style, stained-glass dome ceiling that reaches 25 feet in diameter. In the hotel’s front plaza stands an eight-foot, restored bronze statue of Mexican General Pancho Villa welcoming U. S General John J. Pershing—a nod to the history of the region.

The hotel’s signature offering is a distinct culinary scene. Drink and dining options capture the defining flavor of El Paso with pre-prohibition style cocktails in its famous Dome Bar, enchiladas rolled with handmade tortillas at Sabor, hand-cut steaks and a world-class wine list at 1700° Steak House, and house-made gelato and freshly made baked items at Dulce. Menus will evolve throughout the year to offer seasons’ best from the Texas mountain and basin region.

Hotel Paso del Norte’s centuries-old tradition of hosting the city’s finest meetings and events will also continue into the next century. 33,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space includes a private board room, private dining spaces, and elegant ballrooms with old-world décor with original chandeliers.

To ensure the utmost amenities in safe dining and travel, Hotel Paso del Norte is among the world’s first hotels to open with a virus-killing air filtration system throughout the property. Its state-of-the-art Plasma Air system has been shown to kill 99% of bacteriophage in the air after 10 minutes of use. Common areas, bars, restaurants, hallways, ballrooms, meeting rooms, spa and fitness rooms, and all guest rooms utilize the filtration system.

About Hotel Paso del Norte
Built by acclaimed Trost & Trost Architects in 1912, Hotel Paso del Norte is debuting a multi-million-dollar renovation. Here, every guest feels the soul of El Paso through luxurious amenities, culinary offerings, and refined service.

S General John J. Pershing; the 25-foot Tiffany-style, stained glass dome ceiling; and the revered 10th floor overlook where people would gather to safely watch the escapades of Pancho Villa during the Mexican Revolution.

LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — FuelCred, the #1 fuel tax refund app for small businesses, announces the release of its free «Find Cheap Fuel» feature with «FuelCred Prices». This innovative new capability not only helps users find the cheapest fuel in their area but also includes a user-specific «FuelCred Price» – a calculation of the fuel option that would save the user the most money based on their individual historical fuel use. The «FuelCred Price» is often up to 40% cheaper than retail and is FuelCred’s recommendation of the best fuel option based on a specific job site or location.

The up to 40% savings is a combination of the well-known business fuel expense deduction and the less well-known fuel tax refund, a specialty of FuelCred, which, unlike a deduction, is a 1-for-1 reduction in taxes for businesses. So even if a business doesn’t owe any taxes, the IRS would send an eligible business a check for any fuel tax refund owed.

«FuelCred users are currently projected to receive a fuel tax refund of about $600 on average,» said Joe Chan, Head of Technology for FuelCred. «So not only do FuelCred subscribers receive the latest fuel expense tracking technology to help optimize their business, they generally just save way more on fuel – without annoying ads, gas cards, or gas program subscriptions. And, for a limited time, FuelCred is 100% free.»

The «Find Cheap Fuel» and «FuelCred Price» features are the latest innovations from FuelCred – a trailblazing technology which remains the only available app to help small businesses obtain fuel tax refunds.

«Landscapers, Farmers, Construction companies, and other small businesses that use fuel in off-road equipment can optimize their fuel expense and, in the process, optimize their business,» said Joe Chan. «FuelCred’s goal is to be the essential financial wellness app for small businesses who want to efficiently manage their finances using the latest, enterprise-grade technology.»

The free FuelCred app with the «Find Cheap Fuel» and «FuelCred Price» features is available for download in the iOS store today and will be available in the Google Play store in early 2021.
