Ripple Wine Bar s owners celebrated the opening of a new boutique retail wine and sundries shop.
The Bottle Shop is just a couple doors down from Ripple on Pike Street in downtown Covington near the intersection with Madison Avenue.
City officials joined owners Kathleen and Matt Haws for a ribbon-cutting on Tuesday.
Kathleen Haws described the new shop as small but mighty . It carries nearly 150 bottles in its 350-sq. ft. space.
She said it was important that the size of the shop and the wine selection not be seen as intimidating, and that the shop offer a friendly and relaxed vibe.
The $41,950 in incentives come from the fourth round of the city s annual small business program, a $150,000 yearly initiative that offers help with either first-year rent or exterior improvements.
“We’re thrilled by the number of incentives and the diverse nature of the projects,” said Ross Patten, Covington’s assistant economic development director. “Despite the pandemic, this program is doing exactly what we designed it to do: Help small businesses get off the ground, help create jobs in Covington, and improve the business climate.”
With the approval of these eight projects, the program will have helped 69 small businesses in Covington since the beginning of 2018.
