2022 S.B.A. Person of the Year

Every year, small business owners from all around the United States turn to the U.S. Small Business Administration. Once a year the S.B.A. will announce small business owners from each state around the U.S. to win the coveted Person of the Year award.

For more than 60 years, the President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing National Small Business Week, which recognizes the critical contributions of America’s entrepreneurs and small business owners. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business, and they create about two out of every three new jobs in the U.S. each year.

The Riddle Room is extremely excited to announce its President and CEO, Byron Delmonico was presented with the 2022 Person of the Year award for his outstanding hard work in the business and throughout the community. Over the past 6 years, Byron has grown The Riddle Room with a middle school friend and the amazing employees, from a small hobby like a start-up, to an established local brand that competes with national and franchised brands. Byron is extremely honored and humbled to accept this award which showcases all his hard work and dedication to his employees, vendors, customers, community, and local entertainment and escape room industries.

A special thank you to Josh Daly from the RI SBDC for nominating Byron for this award and to the Small business Administration for choosing our CEO for this amazing award! Byron along with everyone at The Riddle Room will continue to build immersive experiences and bring them to life through our players.
