Business Spotlight

The Wellness Company - Melaleuca has been in business since 1985. Beth Schmitt is your local rep, serves as a member of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, and volunteers on the Women’s Business Connections Steering Committee.

I (Beth Schmitt) began shopping at Melaleuca in 2020. I wished to purchase Made in America items as much as possible. A friend introduced me to the store and our family loved it! Not only is everything USA made, but it is also nontoxic. Plus, the company's servant hearted mission aligned with our family values. I began sharing the products with friends and family. That went well, so I began sharing the store with everyone that had a need. This included those searching for wellness on a budget; products that work and are backed by science and inspired by nature; weight management help; the opportunity to leave big business and make extra cash; the possibility of a noble business venture; or, anyone simply wanting to serve others. The variety of wellness solutions is endless!

Please give a brief history of your business.
I have been in the health & wellness arena as Your Wellness Gal for almost 15 years. This includes leading detox groups, working one on one toward health, offering resources to know your farmer, and pretty much all things in holistic wellness. Melaleuca has been a great addition!

In what way does your business impact our community?
Serving up wellness!! Melaleuca is a great way to help people reach their goals no matter where they start. I love showing families the next steps in getting healthy, generating more energy that leads to feeling great, and creating additional income!

I also serve on the Muskego Chamber’s Board of Directors, which has been a great experience.

I have the honor of helping many people take back their health. This is truly rewarding. I’ve also hit several personal goals in my business, which is a fun part of this business.

The Melaleuca company has existed for 40 years. Those who choose to build through them are truly blessed. The company has paid over 6.7 BILLION dollars to everyday families for simply referring their the store. The servant heart of this company makes them UNIQUE. 😉

What do you love about our community and participating in the Muskego Chamber of Commerce?
I have been a member of this community for 25 years and have so enjoyed being a part of it! We raised 3 kids here, have been part of the school system, MYF program, high school sports, volunteered in many areas, and worked for several small businesses!

I think being a member of the Muskego Chamber is great! I helped found the Chamber’s Women’s Business Connection (WBC) in 2013 and led the group for 5 years.

The Muskego community is rewarding, and its people are supportive of small, locally grown/owned businesses. My twenty plus years as a physical therapist for humans in various local entities taught me that positive word-of-mouth recommendations is the mainstay of a small business and helps it succeed in difficult times or environments. My interaction through the Muskego Chamber with other businesses that service animals (police, veterinarians, and animal product retailers) provides that depth of referral development.

Indian Motorcycle was established in 2015 when Rob Schopf purchased the building from his business partner, Dave Davis. They also brought in a labor company called 2 Boss Performance, which was established in 2013.

These student teams won the BUILD moto competition in the past two out of five years.

Indian Motorcycle also supports Muskego High School’s Connect Academy to encourage students that working in the trades offers a great future.

For the past five years, the dealership has supported the annual Jammin’ on Janesville event organized by the Muskego Chamber of Commerce.

The Chamber is a great way to network and meet new people plus we learn about many Muskego businesses during our networking events.

Fox River Fibers is owned by Heather Hodach and located at the edge of Muskego and Big Bend (S86 W22400 Edgewood Ave, Big Bend). They carry yarns from basic to unique as well as gifts by small and local artisans.

Please give a brief history of your business.

We purchased the warehouse at the corner of Edgewood and Janesville for our online fishing tackle business, Reaction Tackle. The existing showroom was not needed for that company, so I decided to open a yarn shop.

My husband, Chad, grew up in Muskego and is a Muskego High School graduate. We have lived in the Tichigan/Waterford area for twenty-one years.

In what way does your business impact our community?

Fox River Fibers filled the LYS (Local Yarn Shop) void for this area. Previously crafters had to travel twenty or more minutes to another LYS to purchase high quality yarns and notions or attend classes. We also offer weekly open craft times to foster a creative community where we knit, crochet, spin, and embroider.

Tell us unique things about your business, such as awards you've received, special products you offer, or cool employee stories.

We carry products from local dyers and collaborate with local craft businesses to provide a small selection of gifts. These are available year-round in our showroom. On the Saturday before Thanksgiving, we host a Fall Art & Craft Fair that is free admission and open to the public.

What do you love about Muskego?

Location! As a city-girl at heart, living in Tichigan and working in Muskego allows me to be close to large cities (and not go crazy in the country) while still enjoying the sense of community in a smaller town. We live near family and love getting to know regular customers who visit our store.

Being part of the Chamber of Commerce helped me learn about other businesses. Now I can suggest places to eat, grab a coffee, or shop when my customers ask, “What can we do or what should we visit in this area?” Once I directed a customer to another Chamber member who could service their golf cart—that’s not an expected conversation at a yarn shop! Being able to talk about our community helps me get to know my customers.

This location opened in June 2019 and is one of over 1,100 Mathnasium locations worldwide. Our learning centers are committed to providing the world’s best instruction in mathematics.

The Mathnasium Method™ identifies and addresses a student’s learning gaps early on, developing a solid foundation. Mathnasium students receive the support they need for school, homework, and tests while building their math skills through a custom curriculum. Each student receives individualized instruction and we teach for understanding using multiple techniques so each child can learn in a way that makes sense to them.

Please give a brief history of your business.

Mathnasium was founded in 1992 by education industry pioneers Peter Markovitz and David Ullendorff. They recognized that students need a solid understanding of mathematics to be successful in school and life. They worked with Larry Martinek to create a math-only learning center.

My name is Ryan, the owner of Mathnasium of Franklin. During the day, I am a Vice President at U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, where I lead a team of 15 client managers, senior analysts, and junior analysts responsible for providing investment management services to institutional advisers, overseeing 30 clients and 60 funds. I earned an MBA in Financial Strategy and a BS in Finance and minor in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. Having excelled at math as a child and having a career that is finance and accounting intensive, I'm enthusiastic about helping every child in our community to truly understand math by teaching it in the way that makes sense to them. I'm committed to bringing the Mathnasium Method to the children in the community. In my free time, I love to read, travel, golf, and engage in fitness activities, including triathlons.

In what way does your business impact our community?

We believe community ties are crucial to business growth. Our connections to our families help build trust—a key trait for educating students. Whether we sponsor a local event or donate school supplies (or donuts to teachers), we are eager to support our community.

We get kids excited about doing math! Did you ever think you’d see a line of kids eager to math problems? Just take a look at the line waiting for our Spin Wheel during Jammin’ on Janesville and see how it generates their excitement. At our learning center, every student receives face-to-face instruction and a customized learning plan. We have a rewards cabinet filled with items that students earn—anything from candy to toys to TVs and Amazon gift cards. We also offer various activities and fun games throughout the month.

Tri-Town Heating & AC is a well-known, long-standing, family-owned business in Muskego. We service all major heating and air conditioning makes/models. We offer a wide range of innovative Lennox® products to keep HVAC systems running efficiently and reliably. 

Please give a brief history of your business.

Chuck Hoormann started Tri-Town in 1957 and selected the name because it referenced the three communities they serviced: Muskego/Hales Corners, Franklin, and New Berlin.

As southwest Wisconsin grew, Tri-Town's service area and long line of trusted employees grew, also. In 1980, Bob (Chuck's son) and his wife, Sandy, took over the business. Now, Craig (Bob's son) oversees the majority of the business.

In what way does your business impact our community?

The Hoormann's great-grandfather settled in Muskego in the early 1900s and the family has been a part of the community in many areas.  We are a proud sponsor of Muskego youth sports, community activities, and a partner with Lennox "Feel the Love" program.

Our history of experience can be seen in our technicians. They bring nearly 40 years of industry knowledge and skill to their work. And, just like family, we are there for you when you need us. We offer 24/7 emergency services.

Tell us unique things about your business, such as awards you've received, special products you offer, or cool employee stories.

We are proud to partner with Lennox International to bring "Feel the Love" to our community and we need your help for this! Each year we search for those in need of a heating or cooling system--those who could use some assistance to make their home comfortable. Lennox provides the equipment while we donate labor and other installation materials. There is no cost to the homeowner. We do not want them to worry about staying comfortable in their own home. To nominate a homeowner for this opportunity, contact Tri-Town Heating.

What do you love about Muskego?

L'BRI Pure n' Natural is a local company based in Mukwonago WI. Chamber member Kay Reppen is an independent consultant who sells the L'BRI aloe-based skin products.

Please give a brief history of your business.

Linda and Brian Kaminski founded L'BRI two decades ago. They took on the challenge and opportunity to create a company with great products and the ability to change lives. Linda's success in direct sales helped them develop tools and support for their consultants while Brian's life-changing experience with aloe products created their desire to build a multi-million dollar business where thousands of people are experiencing younger, healthier skin.

L'BRI adheres to this simple mission:

• We enrich lives by providing aloe-based products that are safe, natural, effective, and affordable for the whole family. 
• We create opportunities for individuals to achieve their fullest potential when they become independent consultants.
• We believe in dreams that change lives for the better.

In what way does your business impact our community?

L'BRI cares about others. "We enrich lives" is more than just words in our mission statement. Every month L'BRI contributes a percentage of our sales to the local Wisconsin Make-A-Wish Foundation to support their goal of enriching the human experience with hope, strength, and joy. We are proud to be a contributor helping to make a positive impact on children facing life-threatening, medical conditions.

Tell us unique things about your business, such as awards you've received, special products you offer, or cool employee stories.

As an Executive Manager with L'BRI, I've had the privilege of being able to get a "behind the scenes" look at all that is L'BRI. I can honestly say that the more I get to know Co-founders Linda and Brian, the more I am impressed by their integrity, generosity and commitment to making the world a better place. I feel valued and appreciated in so many ways,  whether through handwritten notes of gratitude, gifts or even monthly bonuses! Most exciting has been the trips that I have earned to such places as Maui, Jamaica and Punta Cana. 

I joined L'BRI to get a discount on some wonderful aloe-based products, but I soon realized the positive energy, genuine friendships, and being part of something truly wonderful is what I value most!

What do you love about Muskego?

We love the friendly welcome received from small businesses and residents. Our family moved to Big Bend in 2017 and soon after we joined the Muskego Chamber of Commerce.

Being a Chamber member has helped our business in numerous ways. By volunteering as a Muskego Chamber Ambassador, a member of the Women's Business Connection steering committee, and participating in the Education & Mentoring committee, I found a deep level opportunity to network with other business people and staff at the Muskego High School.

Milk Can Hamburgers & Frozen Custard started as a food truck in 2019 and opened a brick and mortar location in 2021. The goal was to bring something unique to Muskego.

Please give a brief history of your business.

The Oschmann family moved to Muskego in 1957 and opened the Aud Mar Supper Club on Bass Bay in 1958. Audrey and Marty were the original owners. After reopening as Bass Bay Brewhouse in 2015, the family and core team began nourishing the idea of a burger and custard joint. Family is the core of this community and the Oschmanns are blessed to bring a third generation family owned business to our neighbors in Muskego.

In what way does your business impact our community?

Milk Can offers a unique burger and custard concept--something more than another fast food chain. Their goal is to deliver locally sourced, from scratch products that are presented to guests with genuine hospitality. Milk Can Hamburgers does everything they can to give back to Muskego.

Their team recognizes the tight knit community of Muskego and the partnership of local businesses through the Muskego Chamber of Commerce. Participating in events like Jammin' on Janesville highlights not only the Milk Can restaurant but neighboring businesses, also.

The restaurant operates a from scratch kitchen! All burgers are smashed to order.  All sauces and dressings, and soups are made in house. They even pickle their own veggies (including the pickles)!

Custard is churned in house and fresh bakery items are available. Milk Can also serves alcoholic beverages.

What do you love about Muskego?

Current owner, Ryan, graduated from Muskego High School in 2002 and the family continues to enjoy Muskego life. Over the years, they received an overflowing amount of support from the community and guests. This allowed continued growth and brought them to the today's brand: Milk Can Hamburgers & Frozen Custard (on Janesville Road), Bass Bay Brewhouse (on Aud Mar Drive), and Milk Can Diner (in Greendale).
