Noo-Kayet Investments

What Noo-Kayet Investments does

Noo-Kayet Investments is the economic development and investment arm of the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe, a federally recognized Native American tribe headquartered in Kingston, Washington. Founded in 2015 and operating with 251–500 employees, the entity provides strategic direction, business analytics, feasibility studies, and financing for new and existing tribal businesses, with an explicit mission to advance tribal economic sovereignty and reduce reliance on gaming and government revenues. Its governance is provided by a Board of Directors comprising both tribal members and non-members, with executive leadership including CEO Anthony Jones, COO/interim CEO Eric Croft, and CFO Yong Kwon.

The company operates a diversified portfolio of six core subsidiaries, all concentrated on Washington's North Kitsap Peninsula: The Point Casino & Hotel (gaming floor with slots, table games, and sports book; four restaurants; and a four-story, 94-room boutique hotel); Gliding Eagle Market (full-service convenience store with gas, propane, RV services, espresso, tobacco, and spirits); Miller Bay Properties (real estate holding, property management, and active land development, identified by management as a major source of future growth); High Point Cannabis and Ascension Craft Cannabis (medically endorsed retail dispensary and craft cannabis brand); and Minder Meats (branded meat products). The Kwa Kweeti Tribal Development Program supplements the portfolio with employment, training, mentorship, and small-business lending pathways for tribal members, supported by CDFI partners (NNDF, PNWL), the Kitsap Business Association, the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe's Career & Education Department, and the University of Washington Foster School of Business.

Noo-Kayet Investments makes money through transaction-based revenue at each subsidiary (gaming, hospitality, convenience/fuel, and cannabis retail) supplemented by real estate management and land development at Miller Bay Properties. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer across all physical locations, with customer acquisition driven by regional brand presence, signage, and tribal community networks rather than traditional marketing channels. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and no external funding rounds, patents, or technology platforms beyond the portfolio-management apparatus are disclosed in the source data.
