“It is amazing to be recipients of the Restart Grant! Thank you Bay Future! This brings tears to my eyes and I am so honored to be a part of this community. I am humbled and this drives me to keep going and pushing more!”

“I was able to hire back 3 employees and am hopeful with this grant that I will increase the store hours and offer more options including local delivery and curbside pickup.”– Jessica Hill, Owner OMONI Boutique

OMONI Boutique is a passion project, and dream, come to life for the owner. Born out of Jessica’s love for fashion, and as an homage to her mother after her passing, she created the boutique as a safe space for women to have fun and express themselves through fashion.   OMONI or 어머니, the Korean word for mother, focuses on honoring the beauty and strength of all women, and to push the boundaries of fashion little by little. Recently winning “Greatest of the Great Lakes Bay Region” award for Best Boutique, OMONI in Uptown Bay City strives to continue to uphold their values in quality of quantity and bringing elevated style and service.
