No Ordinary Story

Special section profiles Birmingham businesses doing extraordinary things.

By Mel Campbell | May 6, 2025

Looking for stories of businesses and organizations making a difference in the Birmingham area? Look no further than the pages of a special section of the Birmingham Business Journal, sponsored by Regions Bank.

The section features the stories behind the success. No two business owners are exactly alike. But when you talk to them, you discover that successful businesses do share some things.

At some point along the way, somebody believed in them. Somebody stood by them and helped. At Regions, we’re fortunate to be able to provide that little something extra for thousands of small businesses – in Birmingham and beyond.

In the profiles across these pages, you’ll find inspiring stories and people with a passion for making their business and community better … Extraordinary people in an extraordinary place doing extraordinary things.

 

Check inside and read these stories:

  • How Birmingham Fastener connects to the Steel City roots of Birmingham and is forging a new path to becoming not just the last domestic fastener manufacturer in the nation – but also the best and safest.
  • Learn about Dunn and how that company has turned a history of constructing into a legacy.
  • The new McWane Economic Education Center is turning on an old Regions Bank employee parking lot into something will help shape a new workforce in Alabama.
  • Redemptive Bikes believes in moving people, whether that’s at fun bike rides, reclaiming donated bikes or helping those without transportation have access to it.
  • Skier’s Marine was a police officer’s dream – and his part-time job. But some help along the way turned a sideline into a business that is one of the top five largest family-run businesses in the industry.
  • John Morice had a dream to own his own restaurant. Today, he’s one year into living that dream at the new Phil Sandoval’s in Trace Crossings.
