How did you get into your business, and what motivated you to start it?: Why should you have to travel to another county or different state to get good beer or wine? Martinsburg is an ever-growing little city. We wanted to bring something unique to the area, just as we did with the bicycle store. We want to help Martinsburg grow and be a place about which our family could be proud.
Previous business experience: Weber’s husband, Brian, owns Eastern Panhandle Bicycle Co., and the two have worked side by side since the beginning of the bicycle shop in 2008.
