Grand Rapids Business Journal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Grand Rapids Business Journal is a weekly business newspaper concentrating on Grand Rapids, Michigan and the surrounding area. It is published by Gemini Publications which also publishes Grand Rapids magazine, Grand Rapids Family magazine, Michigan Golf, Michigan BLUE and several other titles. John Zwarensteyn is president and CEO of Gemini Publications.

The Grand Rapids Business Journal features a weekly "focus section" on various aspects of business, including commercial real estate, finance, manufacturing, communication, education and others. The Business Journal also has spun off two quarterly publications; the Commercial Quarterly (focused on commercial real estate, construction, engineering, design and architecture) and Health Quarterly (focused on developments in health care, medical technology and science).

Also published is an annual "Book Of Lists" -- a compilation of the various business lists published through the year, and a Small Business Source Book (formerly Business Resource Guide).

The GRBJ was first published in September 1983 as a monthly spin-off of the Grand Rapids Magazine. Its "All Business All The Time" slogan quickly earned a following. The publication became a weekly in January 1986.
