2009 marks the 22nd year that the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce has recognized a member of the community for their outstanding business leadership and civic involvement. Over those 22 years, a veritable Who’s Who of Lakewood business men and women have been honored for their contribution to the community.

We are proud to announce the 2009 Lakewood Business Person of the Year is Mickey Krivosh, the owner of Around the Corner.  Mickey's love for Lakewood is evident in both his professional and personal life.  He exemplifies the qualities the Chamber of Commerce has set forth for this award:  "An individual with a business interest in the community who works to better Lakewood in one or more ways; contributing time and effort in civic, recreational, school and/or church activities." 

Around the Corner has been in business for 35 years and has become a Lakewood landmark.  Under Mickey Krivosh's vision, this restaurant and tavern has always been innovative, while maintaining the charm that has made it a local favorite.  Around the Corner was the first restaurant in the area to serve Buffalo Chicken Wings and feature Karioke.  The recent addition of an outdoor patio and party room are other examples of Mr. Krivosh's ability to anticipate trends and keep things fresh and friendly.

Mickey Krivosh is a long time Lakewood resident and LHS Alumnus.  He has continually supported various non-profit organizations in the community through fund-raising and volunteering such as the Lakewood City Schools, the Lakewood Recreation & Adult Education Department, St. James Community Meal and the Lakewood Chamber of Commerce.

Congratulations to Mickey Krivosh and thankyou for both your business and civic contributions to our community.
