The year in review: Here are 10 of our most unusual business stories

In May, Mainebiz reported that Entosense, a Lewiston producer of edible insects, planned to raise $1 million to $2 million for launching a cricket farm.
To cap off our look at the news of 2019, Mainebiz has put together a collection of articles about outliers — the unusual, the surprising and the sometimes wacky happenings in the state’s business scene.
Earlier, we compiled some of our most positive, pro-business stories for the year, as well as ones we felt reflected poorly on Maine’s companies and businesspeople.
But some of our favorite stories didn’t fall into either category.
To create the list below, we reviewed coverage from the "Week in Review" in each Friday's Mainebiz Daily Report during 2019, and considered many other articles too. We hope you enjoy this head-scratcher hodgepodge. Happy New Year!
