Hopkins
Hopkins is a west-metro suburb with a beloved historic Mainstreet, an arts center, and a raspberry-festival heritage, set between Minnetonka and St. Louis Park with a diverse, walkable downtown of small businesses, restaurants, and professional firms. Its compact size and strong local identity make it a community of independent operators. Media & Technology Group builds bespoke business platforms (custom software, AI automation, managed IT, and marketing) for the Hopkins area's retail, restaurant, professional, and service businesses, and we serve them remote-first from York County, Pennsylvania, distance is no barrier, and we add on-site time when a project warrants the trip.
Do you work with businesses in Hopkins, Minnesota?
Yes, remote-first from our York County, Pennsylvania base, and being in the Twin Cities metro is no obstacle: nearly all of our work is done remotely, with on-site visits when a project warrants it. A Hopkins client gets a named contact, a regular maintenance window, and direct access for urgent issues.
Does working remotely mean slower support for a Hopkins business?
No, remote-first is how we work everywhere, so a Hopkins business gets the same fast response and attention as a local provider, without waiting on a service call.
