For over sixteen years, Angela Courtney has been a driving force in Red Bank’s small business community. Not only is she the owner of Sweetest Sin Boutique, a destination for expert bra fittings, lingerie, and loungewear, but she is also a passionate investor and advocate for local growth. Her story is rooted in resilience and independence. The daughter of immigrant parents, Angela grew up witnessing firsthand how relentless work ethic and self-reliance could build opportunity. “I always wanted to make my own way,” she says. “To build something lasting, not just for myself, but to make my family proud.”
That commitment has translated into more than one successful business. Beyond Sweetest Sin, Angela owns and manages multiple commercial properties in Red Bank, curating spaces that support other small businesses and strengthen the town’s thriving downtown scene. She also co-owns and operates the Red Bank Classic 5K, an annual community event that brings thousands together to celebrate local pride, wellness, and small business.
Her defining moments have not been flashy; they have been foundational. Each milestone, from navigating recessions to reinventing retail in a changing economy, has strengthened her vision as both an entrepreneur and investor. “There’s no such thing as standing still in business,” Angela reflects. “You have to keep evolving, learning, and taking bold but thoughtful risks.”
Challenges have been constant companions, from managing growth to balancing her time between ventures. Angela approaches each one with strategic clarity and grace. Her philosophy is equal parts hustle and intuition, a blend that keeps her ventures both profitable and purpose-driven. The impact of her work extends far beyond her own portfolio. Through mentorship, volunteerism, community events, and example, Angela continues to redefine what local entrepreneurship can look like, proving that empowerment and success are most powerful when shared.
