Throughout this Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.

RED OAK, Iowa – U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa), Chair of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, today announced her Small Business of the Week: Boomerang Corporation of Jones County. Throughout the 119th Congress, Chair Ernst plans to recognize a small business in every one of Iowa’s 99 counties.

“Living up to its name, Boomerang Corporation is committed to projects that both begin and end with them,” said Chair Ernst. “At its Anamosa headquarters, construction isn’t just about building roads or laying concrete, it’s about creating pathways for the community to thrive. For over twenty-five years, founder Bryce Ricklefs has worked to break ground on projects, overcome infrastructure challenges, and deliver high-quality results.”

In 1998, Bryce Ricklefs opened Ricklefs Excavating to support construction projects in the Anamosa community. As time went on, he began seeking larger grading and excavation opportunities. He expanded to include wastewater management, roadwork, and large-scale infrastructure projects. In 2017, Bryce rebranded to Boomerang Corporation and continues to plan, design, and oversee projects across Eastern Iowa. They use trenchless technology to replace pipes with minimal destruction. Boomerang Corporation has grown to employ 200 community members and looks forward to celebrating its 27th anniversary in Iowa this September.

Stay tuned as Chair Ernst recognizes more Iowa small businesses across the state with her Small Business of the Week award.
