📈 We’re working on something new in Marlinton — and we want to know who’s interested.

We’re developing the Poca Investment Club, a new community-based financial education program through the Pocahontas Financial Education Foundation, Inc.

And this is about a lot more than picking stocks.

We want to create a place where people can learn and actually talk about things that can shape their financial future:

💰 Saving, investing & compound growth
📊 Stocks, markets & building a portfolio
🏢 How businesses actually make money
💡 Entrepreneurship & turning an idea into a business
📚 Reading financial statements & evaluating companies
🚀 Starting and growing a business
🏖️ Long-term investing, retirement & financial independence

We’re especially interested in high school students and young adults because learning these things early can have an enormous impact over a lifetime. But this will be open to anyone who genuinely wants to learn and participate.

No investing experience required. No finance degree required. You can start learning today — long before you have a lot of money to invest.

We’re not announcing our first meeting quite yet. Right now, we want to find the people who would be interested in being part of this from the beginning.

Parents — if this sounds like something your high school student would enjoy, we’d especially like to hear from you.

Interested? Comment below, send the Almost Local Business Hub page a message, or tag someone who should know about this.

🌄 Learn. Invest. Build your future — right here in Pocahontas County.

🎉 Another local business website is live!

We’re excited to share the new website for 304 Plumbing!

🌐 304plumbing.com

We had the opportunity to work with Greg Miller and the 304 Plumbing team to build a fresh, professional online presence that makes it easy for customers to learn about their services and get in touch when they need help.

We reviewed the finished site with Greg today, and hearing how happy he is with the final product is exactly why we enjoy doing this work.

At Almost Local Business Hub, our goal is pretty simple: help local businesses look professional, operate efficiently, and compete—without the big-agency complexity or price tag.

A big thank you to Greg for trusting us with 304 Plumbing’s website and for allowing us to share the finished product!

If you’re a local business owner who needs a new website—or has one that could use some attention—we’d be happy to talk.

Congratulations to Greenbrier Bikes on celebrating five years in business! 🎉

Reaching the five-year mark is no small feat. Statistically, only about half of new businesses make it this far, making this milestone something truly worth celebrating.

Greenbrier Bikes has become an important part of the Marlinton business community, and we're proud to see another local business continue to grow, serve its customers, and help strengthen our local economy.

Congratulations to the entire Greenbrier Bikes team on five years of hard work, perseverance, and success. Here's to many more years ahead!

And for anyone who's been thinking about starting a business of your own—there's never been a better time. If you need help getting started, whether it's forming your business, building a website, setting up technology, marketing, bookkeeping, or just figuring out where to begin, we'd be happy to help. Strong local businesses make for a stronger community.

Congratulations again, Greenbrier Bikes! 🚴👏

We work hard to try our best! Tomorrow marks 5 years in business in Marlinton. In 5 years we've never asked for a review, but we've got some!
