Community Involvement
The Huffaker Family has owned the Clinton Inn since May 31, 2019. While we are new to Michigan and the Village of Clinton, we believe strongly in supporting the local community where we live and do business. Here are some things we’re doing locally, as well as a few of our fundamental principles that are the core of our operations.
Supporting Local Businesses
- We support and promote other local businesses, even ones that could be perceived as “competition”.
- From a restaurant/bar standpoint, we operate under the philosophy that there is plenty of business to be shared by all of the local food and drink establishments. If we all thrive, we can all succeed together.
- We support the ideology that having a larger selection of local businesses in town will attract more overall customers to the area. This will ultimately benefit of the village, the businesses, and the residents by providing more options and services.

Supporting Local Vendors
The Clinton Inn is a large building with many different business operations within. We purchase food and other supplies almost daily, and we regularly make repairs and improvements to various parts of the building. When we utilize local vendors, our money spent goes directly back into the community to help it grow and thrive.
Supporting Local Organizations
There are many wonderful charities, school groups, and other organizations in Clinton that require critical funding to operate and thrive. Our commitment to the community is that we will support all of these groups with either cash donations, food donations (when appropriate), or gift certificates for food and/or services. All they have to do is ask, and we will collaborate to determine the best way that we can help.
Local Residency
In 2020, the Huffaker Family purchased a house in the Village of Clinton, just a couple blocks away from the Clinton Inn. It is used as a full-time residence and office space for the company.
Community Involvement
Members of management at The Clinton Inn serve on the board of the Village of Clinton DDA (Downtown Development Authority) and advocate for the improvement of the downtown area as well as local businesses and their success and growth within the village.
