About Us
Ryan & CJ Potter, Owners
At Serenity Sips Bar & Wellness Emporium, founders Ryan and CJ Potter have cultivated more than just a business—they’ve established a wellness center that is a community-centric, veteran- and woman-owned enterprise deeply committed to local empowerment and wellness in Spring/ The Woodlands, TX.
Ryan Potter enriches Serenity Sips with over 31 years of management and customer service experience, honed through a career that emphasizes leadership, operational excellence, and community engagement. His dedication to service is deeply personal, rooted in his family's military legacy, which includes his father’s 29 years of service and his own, further mirrored by CJ's service in the Army National Guard.
CJ Potter, who holds an MBA from Sam Houston State University, has been instrumental at The Woodlands Institute for Health and Wellness since 2011, working under Dr. Mila McManus. Her commitment extends beyond healthcare; she actively supports small businesses, fostering local growth and sustainability.
Together, Ryan and CJ infuse Serenity Sips with a spirit of honor and commitment, creating a welcoming space that not only drives the business forward but also enriches the local community. Their combined efforts establish Serenity Sips as a cornerstone of community support and wellness, embodying their shared values and dedication to enhancing community life.
