Gold Sponsor | Pinnacle Family Homes

With more than 15 years of experience, Pinnacle Family Homes has built a reputation for exceptional quality, craftsmanship, and personalized service in luxury home building on both Spring and Prior Lake. Known for impeccable attention to detail, we believe every home should be as distinctive as the people who live in it. As a small, flexible custom home builder, we tailor the entire construction experience to meet each client’s unique needs—whether that means working from your own floor plan, selecting one of ours, or collaborating to design a fully custom home. Each home is thoughtfully designed and carefully constructed to reflect our clients’ lifestyles, tastes, and long-term vision, with a continued focus on quality, transparency, and trust from initial concept through final walk-through. 

WHO WE ARE PLate on Main is designed specifically for recognition of our Prior Lake roots. Sometimes it helps to say who you are not, before explaining who you are. PLate is not a typical business venture. PLate is a fun and focused adventure built on deep friendships, a sense of family, and our proud community. We started with a 1900's farmhouse on South Main and very diverse backgrounds and skills. The common denominator became our passion for doing things the right way, whether designing a unique building, preparing a distinctive dish, or stirring a signature cocktail. 

OUR JOURNEY | Welcome to PLate, your neighborhood restaurant in beautiful Prior Lake! Run by a pretty awesome crew—Bill, Lori, Honorio, Mac, Matt W., Matt K., and Andy—our spot is where good food, great drinks, and exceptional service come together. We're all about that cozy, 'feels-like-home' atmosphere that makes you wanna kick back and stay a while.

And if you're thirsty, our drink game is strong—whether you're a beer enthusiast, a cocktail wizard, or a wine connoisseur, we’ve got you covered. Trust us, your taste buds will thank you.

There is a neighborhood focus, but an inviting atmosphere for all!

Having successfully navigated every type of market since 2005 - from highly competitive environments to more complex market shifts - Kurt brings the experience and steady leadership needed to help clients make confident real estate decisions. 

His business philosophy is simple: put clients’ needs first in every situation. His past client reviews reflect what they value most about working with him - his honesty, integrity, attention to detail, and commitment to delivering both professional expertise and personalized service. 

Kurt and his family moved to Prior Lake / Savage area in 2006 to be closer to family who live on Prior Lake. Prior to real estate, he spent more than a decade in sales and corporate recruiting within technology and public accounting firms. Kurt partnered with his wife, Christy - who had been in the real estate since 2002. In 2016, along with another business partner formed Peterson Skattum Realty Group, a small, local team that consistently ranks among some of the top-performing teams in the Twin Cities area.

They enjoy traveling to new places, golf, ice fishing, Wolves games, and have been a dedicated sponsor for the high school basketball team. Their ultimate goal - work hard so they can spend more time on the lake! 

 Lauren participates as a sponsor as a way to give back to the SLA community, helping to drive change in lake safety, clean water and lake enjoyment for all!  Additionally, Lauren is our current SLA Treasurer and sponsors both our Memorial Day and Labor Day “Pick your Paddle” events.  He kicks off each event with beverages and pastries!

Stacy is a Pilates instructor and a residential real estate appraiser. They have 2 grown sons and a dog named Wilson. They are both active members and volunteers at St. Michael's Church in Prior Lake. They both love to travel; Sedona is a favorite and a trip to the Holy Land the most memorable. Most summer evenings you will find Lauren, Stacy and Wilson enjoying the lake on their pontoon!

Sailer’s Greenhouse is a first-generation family business that has been in business for over 30 years. The greenhouse is currently run by Mark and Peggy Sailer, along with their daughter Nikki. They are Spring Lake residents and have a son and two grandchildren. 

Mark and Peggy’s favorite part of their business is the fact that they are growers and retailers. 

The passion behind growing quality plants is what has made the business successful. Giving people the opportunity to purchase directly from the grower is what sets them apart from other garden centers. As a business their goals have never been to be the biggest but rather the best. Last year they were honored to win the Star Tribune’s Best of the Best Garden Center.

They also have the best greenhouse greeters! They have a Labrador greeting crew that no other greenhouse can compete with. The dogs meet people at their car and walk them to the door and demand attention the entire time. They might actually be more known for their dogs than plants. Jake, Murphy, Sully, Duke and Gus. Izzy the black cat keeps the rodent population down in the neighborhood. 

They sponsor the Spring Lake Association not only to help give back to the people that support them as a business, but also because they live in the community and want it to be the best it can be.

15+ Years Commitment to Excellence for our Clients.

We have a wide range of services that we offer to our clients and we are constantly expanding our offerings to better serve our community.

A reliable service record is what has kept The Buckingham Companies in business and growing in the communities it serves. 

Tom Buckingham started his disposal business when he was a senior at Burnsville High School. During the afternoons and on weekends he picked up trash in his hometown, emptying fifty-five gallon burner barrels from customers back yards (as was the custom in those days). He said his father was the person who provided the inspiration and encouragement to build his company to what it is today. Elmer and Rose Buckingham assisted with their son’s business into the late 1990’s.
 

Buckingham Disposal provides a variety of services to customers in Savage, Prior Lake, Burnsville, Elko/New Market, rural Shakopee, rural Jordan, and some parts of Lakeville.
 

Buckingham Trucking, Inc. provides roll-off container box rental. The five trucks that deliver and pick up the roll-off construction boxes are the latest technology, featuring a special system known as “The Hook”. This new system allows faster loading and off loading of the boxes than traditional industry systems. Additionally, all drivers are equipped with cell phones for quick dispatch service to customers.
 

Since adding roll-off box services, Tom has noted that there has been continuous commercial demand for them, but there are also individual residents who rent them when they are doing a clean-up project or remodeling their homes.
 

Tom Buckingham states, “There have been numerous changes in the solid waste disposal business since I started over 49 years ago. It is an industry that is constantly changing and new plans for disposing of solid waste will affect our customers and us. We are a very service oriented and reliable company. We may sound like a big company because we provide service to a lot of people, but we employ less than 50 employees.
 

We are a growing company with numerous recycling programs and office space all located at 5980 Credit River Rd SE (county road #21) in Prior Lake, MN. The center offers Buckingham customers some very special incentives. Buckingham customers may obtain a membership card for hard to recycle items. 

Adding new service areas has enhanced the company’s commitment to achieve a fairer system of pricing known as volume based rates, where you only pay for what you throw away.

Community Action | Over any given year, Buckingham Companies donates tens of thousands of dollars in cash and services towards charity and community events all around our service area. A few of the events that we contribute to are Prior Lake Fire Department, Ice Golf, Prior Lake Soccer Club, Winterfest, St John’s Western Palooza, Music Fest, American Cancer Society Relay for Life, P.L.A.Y Lacrosse Tournament, Dan Patch Days and Lakefront Days, among many others.

John Parish and his wife Wendy have been married for 36 years. They have one son named Ryan.  

John has been at the store for 27 years and has owned it for the last 8 years. The store was in existence for many years before I started there. Wendy and Ryan both work with John at the store. 

We are invested in this community!  John has been a Prior Lake Rotary member for 20 years and am a member of the Prior Lake Chamber of Commerce. Our service, price and selection set us apart from other stores and we want to operate a store that Prior Lake and the surrounding area can be proud of.
