What is your favorite part about owning a small business?

John: I like the ability to have a better balance of time with family and do what I love to do.

Are there any new things you are trying with your business?

John: We are trying to offer grab and go for those who do not have the time or ability to prepare on their own.

What has been your biggest challenge?

John: Pricing and constant increase in food costs. We prepare our food with fresh ingredients and those products do not have a long shelf life.
