Maria Frietta nominated for Business of the Year with Knockbox success

Littleton City is set to honor a remarkable local entrepreneur, Maria Frietta, who has been nominated for Business of the Year due to her innovative product, the Knockbox. Originally a teacher, Frietta transitioned into business after creating the Knockbox as a solution to retain important records following her father's passing.

Since its inception in 2021, Frietta's company has seen explosive growth, with revenues soaring from $260,000 in its first year to a projected $36 million this year. Her success story is not only inspiring but also highlights the potential for local businesses to thrive. The Knockbox has gained significant attention, including a feature on the popular television show, The View, scheduled for Monday morning.

The Next Generation Advisory Board discussed the possibility of having Frietta present her journey and insights at an upcoming event. Her experience as a former educator makes her an engaging speaker, and her willingness to share her story could provide valuable lessons for aspiring entrepreneurs in the community.

The board is considering scheduling her presentation for late Q2, allowing for adequate preparation time. This opportunity aligns with Frietta's busy schedule, as she is also preparing to send her daughter to college in Vermont later this year.

As the community anticipates the announcement of the Business of the Year, Frietta's achievements serve as a testament to the entrepreneurial spirit in Littleton, inspiring others to pursue their business dreams.
