Today we’d like to introduce you to Jacqui Thompson
Hi Jacqui, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Biker Betty offically started in January 2015, with one basic tee that sold out instantly! A crazy dream started! Over the years there have been many ups and downs. Moving from Illinois to Montana in 2016 and felt like we had to start over. We were invited to be part of Topless Tuesday in Sturgis and that boosted things forward! As we grew and doing amazing through 2020 devastation hit and my partner in crime & husband passed away suddenly. I had no idea how to keep moving forward without him. Made some plans for vending events, then 4 months later ended up with a compound fracture of my arm. So vending stopped. All movement stopped. Still made Sturgis that year but couldn’t do much more, physically.
As soon as I could I got back on the horse, and was making new strides forward. Until I was about to head out for the 2022 rally and my Dad passed away. Dealing with his estate and all the traveling made me think if this was the right path or if it was time to get out.
Well, listening to how excited my friends/family was about this brand I couldn’t stop. So, invested everything I could to get merchandise back in stock and move forward with no holds!
Today, Biker Betty is about to be in a new store in Helena, MT, and has been in a store in Billings, MT since January. Website is doing good and the future is wide open!
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Absolutely not a smooth road. But whatever obstacles come into the path, they have been handled and have not detoured from the goal. What are those struggles? Death, injuries, self healing and determining the correct avenues to pursue.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
Biker Betty is a women’s clothing brand. I use motorcycle parts and accessories for the artwork. Quality, fit, comfort and style are the main focus when rolling out new merchandise
Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
Biker Betty isn’t just a clothing brand, we support and encourage women to be the best version of themselves. We all struggle, isn’t it refreshing to be able to relate to each other?
