My grandmother Jeanne started this small business in 1939,starting out as a
small grocery store, to eventually evolving in food service. My father
worked
there as a child until he purchased the business in 1975.
I began to work there at the age of nine. It is there that I learned the
core values
of business. I learned that hard work and dedication was the key to any
successful business. These values go with me to every position I have held.
In 1990 I purchased the business and created a new and more modern way of
operation and production.
Made the company a franchise and sold in 1997.
