This weekโ€™s Womenโ€‘Owned Business Spotlight shines on Michele Muth, Coโ€‘Owner of the Jockey Club! ๐ŸŽ‰ Weโ€™ve truly enjoyed getting to know these inspiring women and canโ€™t wait to share Micheleโ€™s valuable insight and experience as a business owner.

1. Tell us the story behind your business. What inspired you? What is the goal of your business? Who do you serve in the community?
The Jockey Club is really an extension of the work I have always cared about most: building community and creating spaces where people feel connected. As Director of Campus Recreation at Marshall University, I have spent years creating experiences centered on belonging, wellbeing, and engagement. Becoming co-owner of The Jockey Club with my husband allowed me to bring those same concepts into downtown Huntington in a different way through hospitality and creativity.

2. What does being a woman business owner mean to you?
Being a woman business owner means a lot to me. It means having the chance to build something of your own, take risks, and lead in a way that feels authentic to who you are. For me, it is also about setting an example for young women and showing them that they can lead, create, and make an impact in their own way. I care a lot about mentoring and encouraging other women, and I hope the work I do reflects that.

3. What has been your proudest moment in your business so far?
One of my proudest moments has been seeing the continued success of our cocktail classes. It is incredibly rewarding to watch people learn a skill, create something they are proud of, and then come back later and tell us they are still using what they learned. I also feel proud in those unexpected moments at The Jockey Club when the whole room is singing along to the same song and you can tell we have created a place where people feel comfortable, connected, and fully themselves.

4. What is one lesson that entrepreneurship has taught you?
One lesson entrepreneurship has taught me is to really know your customer so you can meet a need in a way that feels genuine. Success also depends on treating your employees well and creating a culture where people feel respected, supported and proud to be a part of what you are building. I want the Jockey Club to be a place where my employees really have a chance to shine.

5. What product or service are you most known for? Is there a customer favorite readers should know about?
We are probably best known for our cocktail classes, which tend to sell out almost immediately. They have really become a signature experience for us. More broadly, I think The Jockey Club is known for creativity. We love pushing ourselves to try new flavors, new concepts, and new ways to make cocktails feel fun and memorable. Bringing that kind of fresh energy to the Huntington market is something readers should definitely know about.

6. Why is supporting local businesses important to you?
I know how much heart, risk, and hard work go into building something, so I believe in supporting the people who are willing to do that for our community. Local businesses give a community its personality. Growing up with a dad who owned a small business, I always admired the idea of building something that leaves your stamp on a place and becomes part of peopleโ€™s lives. Small businesses help create connections, bring energy to a community, and make life more interesting.

7. What is your go-to drink while you work? Any other fun facts you'd like to share?
When I'm working in general there is nothing better than a cold LaCroix out of a can, but since I am in the business of making drinks, I have a few favorites, and my tastes change according to the season. I love a negroni for sipping, an espresso martini (of course) or a fresh daiquiri!

8. If you werenโ€™t running a business, what would you be doing instead?
If I were not helping run a business, I would probably be teaching more fitness classes like cycling and pilates. I already work in campus recreation and really enjoy that side of my life, especially the energy and connection that comes from leading people in that kind of setting. It is a different kind of community building, but one I really love.

9. Do you have any new developments or exciting updates about your business you'd like to share?
We are currently working on our summer drink menu, which is always a fun creative process for us. We are also looking ahead to our next cocktail class in May and talking through ways to offer more classes since they have been so popular. We have more trivia nights in the works as well, and like so many others in Huntington, we are really excited about the reopening of the Keith-Albee and the energy that will bring downtown.

It's Friday again and you know what that means! โœจ

It is time for another Women-Owned Business Spotlight and this week, we are meeting Alison White with Sip Downtown Brasserie. ๐Ÿท

1. Tell us the story behind your business. What inspired you? What is the goal of your business? Who do you serve in the community?
Sip was created from a love of hospitality and a desire to bring people together over great food and wine. The idea was to create a place where familiar, comforting dishes are elevated with a brasserie-style twist, paired with an exceptional wine program.
Our goal is to provide a welcoming space where people in our community can gather, whether for a celebration, a date night, or simply a great meal with friends.

2. What does being a woman business owner mean to you?
Being a woman business owner means having the opportunity to lead, create, and contribute to my community in a meaningful way. Itโ€™s about building something that reflects my values, hospitality, hard work, and connections while hopefully inspiring other women to pursue their own ideas and goals.

3. What has been your proudest moment in your business so far?
My proudest moment has been seeing Sip Downtown Brasserie become a place where our community gathers to celebrate lifeโ€™s moments, big and small. Watching people choose our restaurant for anniversaries, birthdays, and special occasions reminds me why we started in the first place.

4. What is one lesson that entrepreneurship has taught you?
Entrepreneurship has taught me that you canโ€™t do everything alone. Building a strong team and trusting the people around you is one of the most important parts of creating a successful business.

5. What product or service are you most known for? Is there a customer favorite readers should know about?
What we are most known for is our Siptacular Wine Festival. This year marks our 9th year hosting the festival, which brings the community together for a fun afternoon of wine tasting, great food, and great company. Itโ€™s an event that celebrates wine while also supporting local organizations and bringing people together in a festive, welcoming atmosphere.

6. Why is supporting local businesses important to you?
Supporting local businesses is important to me because they are the heart of a community. Local businesses create jobs, support other local organizations, and help make a town feel vibrant and unique.

7. What is your go-to drink while you work? Any other fun facts you'd like to share?
Coffee is definitely my go-to drink while Iโ€™m working. Running a restaurant keeps you on your feet, so a little caffeine helps! A fun fact is that Iโ€™m always thinking about new ideas for the restaurant - from menu items to events. So, inspiration can strike just about anywhere (and usually a good glass of wine helps the ideas flowing!)

8. If you werenโ€™t running a business, what would you be doing instead?
If I werenโ€™t running a restaurant, Iโ€™d probably be traveling the world tasting wine and calling it continuing education.

9. Do you have any new developments or exciting updates about your business you'd like to share?
Weโ€™re always looking for ways to create new experiences for our guests through special events, wine programming, and menu creativity. One exciting update is that we are preparing for the 9th Annual Siptacular Wine Festival, which has become a signature community event and something we look forward to hosting each year.

10. Where can people find or follow your business?
We are located at 311 9th Street in downtown Huntington. You can find us on Facebook and Instagram ! ๐Ÿ“ธ

When women come together, incredible things happen. โœจ

Our Womenโ€™s Impact Network Social was held earlier this week at The Jockey Club, and it was a powerful reminder of the strength, leadership, and support within our network. Weโ€™re proud to be a part of the Huntington Regional Chamber of Commerce, which allows us to create spaces where women and men alike can connect and thrive.

Thank you to everyone who came out to join us, and stay tuned for more details on our next event in May! ๐Ÿ‘

๐ŸŽ‰Women-Owned Business Spotlight ๐ŸŽ‰

To kick off this beautiful Friday, weโ€™re launching a new series spotlighting our amazing womenโ€‘owned businesses! This week, weโ€™re excited to feature Amy Frasure of Bullseye Total Media.

1. Tell us the story behind your business. What inspired you? What is the goal of your business? Who do you serve in the community?
Bullseye Total Media started out of the idea of hoping to never โ€œwake up and dread going to workโ€ again. Our goal was to rethink how an advertising agency functioned and focus on relationships and not nickel-and-diming clients with unnecessary fees. We wanted to provide an extension of our clientsโ€™ marketing departments by handling all aspects of their marketing at all times. Unlike most traditional agencies, we are never the middleman. We do everything in-house.

2. What does being a woman business owner mean to you?
Being a woman-owned business means continuing to give home to the next generation of young women and encouraging them to know they do have a seat at the table, even if that sometimes means bringing your own chair.

3. What has been your proudest moment in your business so far?
Hitting the 10-year mark in business was a big deal for me. When you really sit back and think about all of the good weโ€™ve been able to accomplish over the years, it almost makes me emotional. People trust us every day with their livelihood, and we do not take that for granted. We employ 18 people in downtown Huntington, WV. That's 18 people who depend on us to be successful to put food on their table, send their kids to college, and just exist. Itโ€™s a responsibility I never take lightly.

4. What is one lesson entrepreneurship has taught you?
Itโ€™s okay to fail...if you fail forward and learn from it. Change is inevitable and usually uncomfortable, but Iโ€™ve always felt like Iโ€™ve grown the most during those times. At the end of the day, you always win with people. People are the most valuable resource we have. Treat them right.

5. What product or service are you most known for? Is there a customer favorite readers should know about?
We are a full-service advertising agency. We do anything a client dreams up. We handle video production, graphic design, website development, event planning, social media management, digital and traditional advertising, media buying, audio production, animation, and more.

6. Why is supporting local businesses important to you?
Supporting local is HUGE to us. Too many times, big businesses in our market go to larger cities to work with ad agencies and pay thousands more when we have some of the most creative, talented people right here at home. And thatโ€™s not just us; there are other amazing agencies locally. Those same big businesses scream โ€œsupport localโ€ but donโ€™t always practice what they preach.

7. What is your go-to drink while you work? Any other fun facts you'd like to share?
Coke Zero. Iโ€™m not a coffee drinker which always surprises peopleโ€”but I can crush some Coke Zeros throughout the day.

8. If you werenโ€™t running a business, what would you be doing instead?
My mom always said if I didnโ€™t run a business, Iโ€™d probably be running a gang in prison. And to be honest, sheโ€™s probably right.

9. Do you have any new developments or exciting updates about your business youโ€™d like to share?
We are always working on exciting projects! Thatโ€™s the best thing about our businessโ€”no two days are the same.

I became interested in getting involved with WIN when I started my career and realized I was craving more growth, more connection, and more purpose. Being a working mom is the hardest thing Iโ€™ve ever done, but itโ€™s just as important to me to build a life my kids can see and be proud of. Women are incredibly capable in every part of life, both at home and in the workplace. WIN felt like the perfect community to support and celebrate that.
