“Local is real. It is real people. It is your community and your neighbors.” For Jennifer Williamson, those words are the foundation beneath The Neighborhood Hive, the Sugar House market she created with her husband, Derek Williamson, and their friends and business partners, Tiffany Rainwater and Jed Matthews. Together, the four of them have built something that is part shop, part coffee bar, part event space, part business incubator, and part neighborhood living room - a place where more than sixty small businesses can find a home under one roof.

“We’ve always shared a passion for sports and art, especially where the two intersect,” says Evan Polivy, co-founder of Huyck House, an online destination for thoughtfully curated sporting goods and sports lifestyle products. He built the platform alongside Jonathan Ehrich, his closest friend since childhood. “Huyck House reflects our belief that athletic gear should do more than support performance and enjoyment. It should also serve as an expression of personal style.”

“We have kind of done things together for forever.” Jasmine and Angelique Gordon laugh when they say it, but the line could easily be the tagline for their lives. From growing up in Ogden, Utah with a single mother and two older brothers, to years in the restaurant and bar world, to running a women’s clothing boutique and a bar at the same time, the sisters behind A La Mode in Sugar House have been side by side through all of it.
