This is our personal family owned business and one I helped run and upscale from a small 25 seat restaurant back in 2006 to now a seating capacity of 100+ complete with a buffet system, state of the art sound system and a grand bar area that transforms into a light up dance floor as well. As a kid my parents would show me ropes and helped me to develop and acquire my knowledge on business. Through working in our own business it taught me most of my customer service and customer handling skills this is also where my love for business started.

In the success of our family owned restaurant, we decided to expand and create another business but this time we opened an Indian grocery store that was positioned next door to our restaurant with the idea in mind that family’s after a nice night out can purchase sweets and desserts but also go home with fresh produce and the ingredients needed to create their own delicious meals from home. Additionally at this shop we sold a wide variety of kitchen appliances and heavy duty kitchen machinery and my sales skills after managing a shop drastically improved. After a successful couple years and long consideration we decided to close up with the hopes of creating something even better or even and entirely new business because as a entrepreneur and business owner you must learn to persevere and see the vast opportunity that can arise from a minor setback.
