There’s a certain kind of energy you only feel at a live sports event. It starts before the game even begins – lively music in the air, the hum of conversation, anticipation building as fans show up for their team. For a few hours, everyone around you is part of the same story. Strangers become friends, and small moments become collective memories. Because you’re all there for the same reason: to cheer, to connect, to be part of something bigger than yourself.
That was the feeling on a recent visit to Subaru Park, where we gathered with friends and colleagues to cheer on the Philadelphia Union. On the surface, it looked like just a game. But inside the Primepoint Club, the feeling was one of connection.
Sporting events aren’t just about the jerseys, the chants, or the wins. At the core, sports are about the people, the place, and a shared investment – a communal sense of pride. Win or lose, you show up. You give your support, time and again, because your community
matters. Your hometown matters.
Amid the excitement of the match, I had the pleasure of meeting the team behind Copper Bonnet Distillery. Copper Bonnet isn’t just producing high-quality gin – they’re building a mission-driven brand rooted in passion, craftsmanship, and impact. Their approach is anchored in supporting ocean conservation and the veteran community, partnering with Force Blue to help retrain retired combat divers for meaningful marine conservation missions. Inspired by nautical heritage, Copper Bonnet incorporates coastal botanicals into their gin and a “from the ocean, for the ocean” mindset into everything they do.
Located just minutes from Subaru Stadium in Chester County, PA, Copper Bonnet Distillery is a local business that’s certainly making its mark. And as the crowd cheered behind me, I was reminded to “root, root, root for the home team” – and for our local businesses.
Hearing the Copper Bonnet story face-to-face, right in the middle of the Primepoint Club, was a powerful reminder of why supporting local matters. When you support a local business, you’re not just buying a product, but connecting with the people behind it. You can feel the authenticity in their story, the passion in their purpose, and the intention behind every decision they’ve made.
Supporting a local business is a bit like cheering on your home team. Because you’re not just showing up, you’re investing in something bigger. And that’s what makes watching local entrepreneurs carve out their space so meaningful. You’re witnessing the story as it
unfolds, and in some small way, you’re a part of it.
Primepoint’s Role in the Local Business Community
At Primepoint, supporting local businesses is part of who we are, not just in the services we provide, but in how we show up as patrons, partners, and neighbors. We’re proud to help power the operations of local companies, offering payroll, HR, and workforce solutions that help them grow and thrive. But just as importantly, we believe in being present in the community. We love to cheer in the same stadiums, share the same spaces, and root for the success of the entrepreneurs who make our region so special.
That’s why nights like this one matter. Meeting Copper Bonnet in a social space, while celebrating our own home team, felt like a perfect reflection of what community support really looks like. It’s businesses lifting each other up, creating connections, and celebrating each other’s wins.
The Power of Local Supporting Local
Copper Bonnet’s dedication to sustainability, veteran support, and responsible craftsmanship is inspiring. And their recent partnership as the Official Gin Canned Cocktail and Preferred Gin of the Philadelphia Union only underscores how quickly they’re making an impact in our region. Seeing them grow, and knowing Primepoint can cheer them on both professionally and as customers, reinforces something we deeply believe – that local businesses thrive when they support one another.
Whether it’s collaboration, conversation, or simply choosing local when we spend our time and money, every bit of support strengthens the communities we’re all a part of.
Walking away from that night, I felt the same excitement about Copper Bonnet’s future as I did about the Union’s performance. And I felt proud. Proud that Primepoint plays an active role in helping local businesses succeed, proud to be part of a community that values
connection, and proud to celebrate the homegrown brands making waves across the world.
Here’s to shared success, strong partnerships, and the incredible local businesses that inspire us all.
