Luxauro Hosts Post Office Job Fair and Busy SOS Month

A Montana-based startup company launched a platform in July aimed at aiding local businesses and their connections with customers across the country.

Luxauro launched Luxauro.com which allows businesses and consumers to have a one-stop shop experience and find goods around the state.

Within the website are multiple tabs like cuisine, health and beauty, recreation and more with sub-levels of each topic for consumers to find what they need.

“We are thrilled to support the growth of local businesses and contribute to the economic strength of our communities,” Victor and Angela, founders of Luxauro, LLC. said.

There are options for entrepreneurs, businesses, and others to sign up for different tiers on the site to promote their offerings.

The Gold Metal Guild offers professional networking opportunities for people to offer their services through Torque Form, a web application.

Advanced e-commerce and tailored crowdfunding opportunities are offered through the web application that works in tandem with the LLC’s website.

Billings Clinic Broadwater welcomes home Montana native and family medicine physician Paul Engstrom, raised on a wheat farm outside of the tiny town of Reserve.

As a family medicine physician, Engstrom offers continuing and comprehensive care to patients. He aims to help patients navigate their care needs and health throughout the stages of their lives.

“Small town Montana has always been home and I’m incredibly excited to be back. The community has been so welcoming since our arrival and I’m looking forward to serving Broadwater County now and in the years to come,” Engstrom said in a news release.

Engstrom grew up in Sheridan County with just a single stoplight and, at the time, a graduating high school class of eight students. He attended Montana Tech in Butte after high school, where he played basketball for the Orediggers. Following graduation, he worked as a CNA in Missoula.
