Congratulations to Curry Mango, the Lakeland Chamber's October 2024 Small Business of the Month! This recognition reflects not only the restaurant’s exceptional quality but also the dedication and passion of its owner, Tijo, who has been a vibrant part of our community for over 20 years. Tijo’s culinary journey began in India, where he discovered his passion for cooking at just 12 years old while helping his father, a caterer. This early experience ignited a lifelong love for food, leading him to establish Curry Mango in 2019. Since then, the restaurant has become a beloved fixture in Lakeland, celebrated for its rich flavors and authentic Indian cuisine. At Curry Mango, guests can enjoy a diverse menu that captures the essence of Indian culinary traditions. The restaurant prides itself on using genuine spices and ingredients to craft dishes that not only delight the palate but also provide a cultural experience. With fragrant spices and savory curries, there’s something for everyone, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike. Curry Mango has proudly been a member of the Lakeland Chamber of Commerce since opening, highlighting Tijo’s commitment to nurturing local business relationships and contributing to the community’s growth. The restaurant truly embodies the spirit of a small business that cares deeply about its customers and the local economy. This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication Tijo invests in his restaurant. The joy of seeing satisfied customers keeps him motivated, and with each dish served, he shares his passion for Indian cuisine with everyone who walks through the door. We invite everyone in Lakeland to visit Curry Mango and savor the delicious food and warm hospitality that make this restaurant truly unique. Whether you’re a long-time patron or visiting for the first time, you’re sure to leave with a smile and a newfound appreciation for Indian cuisine.

Congratulations to Tri-County Human Services, Inc. on your 50th Anniversary and the Grand Opening of your new building. It was a pleasure to celebrate these two big milestones with you! Tri-County Human Services was founded by two parents determined to help their son, who changed from mentally healthy and bright to sullen and belligerent after getting involved with alcohol and drugs. Believing that no family should endure such pain, they started distributing pamphlets to raise awareness about this growing issue. Working from the trunk of their car. Their dedication led to the official establishment of Tri-County Human Services in 1974. Today, Tri-County is a nationally respected organization that provides behavioral health evaluations, treatments, and support services across twelve locations in Polk, Highlands, and Hardee counties. We are known for our excellence in caring for children, adolescents, and adults. We are a state-licensed agency and nationally accredited by the Commission on the Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). We proudly offer a "no-wrong-door" approach, providing a wide range of high-quality services focused on improving the lives of everyone we serve.
