U.S. Senator Jim Risch, senior member and former chairman of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, announced the selection of Collet’s Pub in Firth as the Idaho Small Business of the Month for January 2024.

Collet’s Pub will be recognized for its contribution to the Eastern Idaho community in the Congressional Record of the U.S. Senate. 

“Since Prohibition, Collet’s Pub has been a gathering place for Eastern Idaho,” said Risch. “With its notable teal sign, Firth’s only dining establishment continues to entertain customers of all ages with good food, burgers, and karaoke. Owners Holly and Brian Johnson brought Collet’s back to life after much needed repairs, while maintaining original engravings etched into the bar by the former owner.”

Idaho is consistently ranked one the best places in the country to do business. Each month, Senator Risch selects an Idaho small business that exemplifies the Idaho values of hard work, entrepreneurial spirit, and exceptional commitment to community.
