STICKY SPOONS JAM LLC CELEBRATES 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

NILES, Mich. (July 15, 2024) - The Women's Business Center at Cornerstone Alliance proudly joins Sticky Spoons Jam in commemorating its first-year Anniversary Celebration, marking a year of culinary excellence and community spirit. Founded by Aiye, Sticky Spoons Jam has quickly become a local favorite, renowned for its artisanal jams and syrups. With the invaluable support of the Women's Business Center (WBC), Aiye transformed her passion into a thriving business, now serving as a mentor to aspiring entrepreneurs in the area.

"Reflecting on our journey, we are grateful for the community that has grown around our passion for making the finest, most flavorful jams," Aiye reflects. "From our first batch to our latest creations, your enthusiasm has been the sweetest ingredient in our success."

The Anniversary Celebration, scheduled for July 20th from 10 AM to 5 PM at Sticky Spoons Jam, 11801 Pucker St, Niles MI 49120, promises a day of celebration and gratitude. Guests can indulge in complimentary pulled pork sandwiches and cookies (while supplies last), participate in exciting giveaways including a KitchenAid Mixer, and engage with Aiye and her team to learn about their craft and upcoming endeavors.

"As we celebrate this milestone, we’re not just looking back on a year well spent but also bubbling with excitement for what’s to come," Aiye continues. "New flavors, events, and ways to enjoy Sticky Spoons Jam await."

Brandy Jaquez, Director of the Women's Business Center, praises Aiye: "Aiye is a rockstar, excelling as both entrepreneur and mentor with unwavering dedication and innovation. Leading Sticky Spoons Jam, a black and veteran-owned business, she enriches our local culinary scene and inspires countless entrepreneurs. Her community spirit fosters connections and empowers others to thrive, paving the way for future business owners with resilience and creativity."

The Women's Business Center recognizes Aiye's steadfast commitment and contribution to the local business community. Last year's ribbon-cutting ceremony for Sticky Spoons Jam's current location was a testament to her dedication and the Women's Business Center's ongoing support.

"Thank you for spreading the love. From the bottom of our jars, thank you for being an essential part of our Sticky Spoon family," Aiye expresses. "Here’s to many more years of shared flavors, smiles, and memories!"

The Women's Business Center at Cornerstone Alliance invites the community to join Sticky Spoons Jam on July 20th to celebrate their first year of delighting taste buds and fostering community bonds.
