About Jessica Medler
Jessica Medler is co-owner of Uncorked Lounge in Fargo. She started the self-pour wine lounge with her husband, Joe, this year. The lounge itself is incredibly tech forward and she hopes to be a disrupter in the restaurant/bar industry in Fargo. Jessica grew up traveling with her family, as her dad was in the military. When he retired in 1994, they settled in Fargo, ND to be close to her mom’s side. Jessica has been here since then, except a short 5 years in college in Duluth, MN.
About Uncorked Lounge
Tell us about your company and your mission.
“We are the first fully self-serve restaurant/bar/wine lounge in the area. We wanted to build a business around you get what you want, when you want. Our time is our most precious resource, at the end of the day we all wish we had more time. That’s what we give to the South Fargo community. Come in as you are, never wait on server staff, your time out at Uncorked is an adventure of finding new wines or getting deep into conversations with your family, friends, or colleagues.”
What are some wins you are celebrating?
“We were voted hottest new joint with the Fargo Monthly magazine! That was incredible to see that after only a couple of months open, we were already regraded very highly.”
What is the most important lesson you’ve learned throughout your entrepreneurial journey?
“Be bold, take the leap, have faith and don’t look at your bank account for the first year! You can look, but do not give up within the first few months. It takes time and energy to get the snowball moving.”
Uncorked is officially a part of the Fargo-Moorhead founder family. How can our community support you in your next stage of growth?
“We are looking for holiday staff as well as capitol investment. We love our Fargo community and want to grow within North Dakota as well as Minnesota.”
What are you grateful for today?
“I am grateful for the continuous support of my husband and my family. I cannot do any of this well, without them.”
