Pawsitively Canine Rehabilitation, LLC  is owned by Amy J Helminski, PT MS OCS CCRT.

Please give a brief history of your business.

I founded Pawsitively Canine Rehabilitation in 2019 because:

  • There is a need for canine/dogs healing and rehabilitation services.
  • To facilitate owner education on healthy care and rehabilitation for aging or injured dogs.

I have a passion for animals, specifically dogs. I created this mobile business to provide health and wellness care along with injury and postsurgical management for dogs of all sizes—working and recreational classes. Offering this service in the safety and comfort of the dog’s home is a plus that ensures the outcome and success of treatment.

In what way does your business impact our community?

I am a licensed physical therapist with thirty-six years of professional physical therapy experience. As a CCRT (Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist), I collaborate with the dog’s veterinarian to provide personalized, individual care for the dog’s injury or needs during the initial evaluation and subsequent sessions. This allows me to provide high level anatomy knowledge and injury management while addressing neuromuscular skeletal injuries of our four-legged, canine family members.

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

I am the only mobile, canine rehabilitation unit providing in home or on work site care for dogs within a five-county area of southeastern Wisconsin. I am a canine rehabilitation specialist with secondary wellness and injury management training. I offer ultrasound, TENS, electrical stimulation, manual tissue and joint work, exercise interventions, and injury management for both sporting and working dogs. In addition, I help educate owners about senior dog care in joint pain management during follow-up and in-home care.

What do you love about our community and participating in the Muskego Chamber of Commerce?

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.

Our family business began in 1995 when we opened a car wash and service center in the Mukwonago community. We grew and expanded to our current locations of Mukwonago, Menomonee Falls, and New Berlin. The founding members of our family business lived in Muskego for almost fifty years while raising four children and many grandchildren on Little Muskego Lake.

In what way does your business impact our community?

We impact the community positively by providing honest and efficient service to our customers, offering flexible employment opportunities for youth in our community, and giving back to local organizations through community fundraisers. We take pride in our community and have commissioned an attractive hardscape feature that will solidify our presence here by enhancing the aesthetics of ours and surrounding business properties. This significant investment demonstrates our pride and desire to attract attention to this area.

Our car wash uses state-of-the-art equipment to deliver the most clean, dry, and shiny cars on the road today.

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

We are family-owned and operated. Our management team is composed of family members who have been in the industry for more than thirty years, a Muskego High alum, former members of the armed forces, and ASE certified technicians. This offers dedication, honesty, integrity, and operational experience to the community. It also drives our unmatched attention to detail, commitment to customers, and consistent quality of service.

Carwash memberships are available for frequent washers and can be used at any of our locations. Membership includes the use of our microfiber towels, self-serve vacuums, and discounts at our service centers.

What do you love about our community and participating in the Muskego Chamber of Commerce?

Muskego is a great place to raise a family, has a quality education system, and a vast amount of recreational activities to enjoy. This community shares the same values as our management team and staff. We love to offer the community satisfying, honest services, and a place where they feel good about themselves and their vehicles.

We look forward to additional opportunities through our participation with the Muskego Chamber of Commerce.

In 2017, I finally decided to open my own office, Brew City Accounting and Tax. I wanted to help more than one company and focus on serving a variety of functions for individuals and businesses.

In what way does your business impact our community?

Taxes are always changing, and reading tax laws often feels like reading Latin. We help individuals understand the personal tax code and build a plan to save taxes in the future. We also enable local businesses to strengthen their bottom line and achieve financial goals. The increase of new businesses in Muskego led us to offer New Business Workshops to help business owners start out on the right foot.

Initial meetings are free to determine that we are a good fit and can meet the client’s needs. Through technology, experiences, and continued education, we want to become the trusted partner in personal and professional relationships. This creates a better overall community.

What do you love about our community and participating in the Muskego Chamber of Commerce?

My wife is a Muskego graduate and we moved back to her hometown in 2017. I (Stephen) came from a small Iowa town of 200 people. Muskego has that same hometown feeling, yet offers the opportunities found in a large city.

The Chamber is involved with their business members and the community. As a member of the Muskego Area Chamber of Commerce, I find it a great opportunity to network with current and future businesses while being a local brand in the community.

St. Paul’s Church & School is located at S66 W14325 Janesville Road in Muskego. They are a Christian community rooted in the Bible with a heart for their neighbors and city.

Please give a brief history of your business.

In 1857, St. Paul’s was established in Tess Corners when two acres of land were purchased from Jacob and Julia Tess. A small wooden church was built. In 1878 the congregation’s first constitution was filed to the Town of Muskego. Its name was St. Paul’s German Evangelical Lutheran Church. A new brick church building was dedicated in 1905.

The last German service was held in 1949. As the church grew during the 1950-60s, a youth center, playground, and elementary school were added. In 1976, the congregation built a new, larger building.

In what way does your business impact our community?

St. Paul’s currently serves 324 children through our childcare, pre-K, and elementary school. We believe helping parents build strong Christian families turns into building stronger communities.

With mental health being at a pandemic level, we built a professional counseling center, and Pastor Jeffrey Bonack went back to school to become a licensed counselor. We offer support groups for those looking to connect with others.

We support several Muskego organizations such as the Muskego Food Pantry, Muskego Senior Taxi, Muskego Woman’s Club, and Muskego Chamber of Commerce. We invest in our community because Muskego is our home.

Indian Motorcycle of Metro Milwaukee and 2 Boss Performance is located at W191 S7757 Racine Avenue in Muskego, just two miles south of I-43.

Please give a brief history of your business.

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.

Indian Motorcycle just celebrated eight years of business and 2 Boss Performance celebrated ten years.

In what way does your business impact our community?

While in high school, Rob began working on motorcycles at a Harley-Davidson dealership. Because that became his career path, Rob wanted to teach high school kids about bikes. His dealership partners with Muskego High Schools Auto Class through a program called BUILD. Each year a new team of high schoolers meet at Indian Motorcycle where they learn how to build a race bike from scratch. 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.

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

We strive to offer the highest level of customer satisfaction. Every employee is passionate about motorcycles.

We are one of the few local motorcycle shops to offer Dyno Tuning and we have the best Dyno Tuner in the Midwest! We also built an Indian Scout and were selected by the largest parts supplies to be on their 2023 catalog cover. Rob has built several bikes—one sits in an Iowa museum.

All technicians for both businesses are GOLD certified with Polaris and this training goes beyond our service department. Our sales team is very knowledgeable of our products and our parts department offers a wide variety of aftermarket parts for motorcycles, UTVs, and ATVs.

In 2021, we received the Business of the Year award through the Muskego Chamber of Commerce.

What do you love about our community and participating in the Muskego Chamber of Commerce?

I (Rob) love the City of Muskego because it is a lake community filled with families and businesses of like-minded people. I love how we come together to support our local school programs, events, and small businesses. We like participating in the annual Jammin’ on Janesville–an event that has grown to 12,000 attendees.

Many of our employees are life-long Muskego residents. Dave Davis is one of those Muskego residents and Rob Schopf lived in Muskego for ten years.

Through the Muskego Chamber of Commerce, I met Joseph Kreuser from CAM, Tech, Inc. This allowed our business to rent his space for winter motorcycle storage. We also use his machining services. The Chamber is a great way to network and meet new people plus we learn about many Muskego businesses during our networking events.

I did not join the Chamber to increase my bottom line. I joined the Chamber to increase my visibility to other business owners and like-minded people. As a Past President of the Chamber’s Board, I was an active participant in its strategic planning and am helping implement its future direction. I am very proud of all the Board members, committee volunteers, and our Ambassadors.

We are a niche company involved in many industries. By being small, we can provide fun, prototype work while still being equipped to handle large production runs.

What do you love about our community and participating in the Muskego Chamber of Commerce?

Pride of community. I love how we come together to support our local school athletic programs and small businesses. Jammin’ on Janesville…12,000 attendees…enough said.

Most people hope their sales increase when joining a chamber. I get it and that is always welcome. However, in some industries it isn’t that easy. We have a different philosophy. By being a member of the Muskego Chamber of Commerce and participating on the Board of Directors or in its committees, we find our biggest advantage is individual connections. We learn what others do and apply it to our business. This might be cost savings measures, employment practices, or word of mouth referrals—all things we would miss if not involved with other chamber business members.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

North Shore has developed a new role called a Community Engagement Manager in an effort to participate more in our communities. We are always trying to find ways to help and be involved with the activities in the community.

In what way does participation with other Chamber businesses help your business?

Being part of the Muskego Chamber has been the best thing for our branch. I am meeting new people regularly and building relationships with people I see at events. The chamber is very involved and helps promote our business.

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

North Shore holds an annual Wrap Up Rally for their branch employees. Throughout the year, employees are given goals to meet or exceed per their role. At the end of the year, top performers receive awards. As a Branch Manager, I have the opportunity to win a vacation if awarded top manager of the bank. I have won this award every year since becoming manager in 2018. In my Muskego branch, each employee role has been awarded top performer along with our location being named Branch of the Year.

What do you love about Muskego?

My family moved to Muskego in 2003. I love that everyone knows everyone in Muskego. It's like a big family here. I graduated from Muskego High, live in Muskego, and work in Muskego. I enjoy being so close to the lake and the country feeling that is here. I also love how involved Muskego's businesses and citizens are in the community. Our mayor is well known, keeps us well informed of current events, and is very approachable.
