"After owning my own cafe, working as a wedding coordinator and holding an office job in real estate, I decided I needed a change of pace that would give me time to myself while still providing a solid income. I've always believed that owning my own business was the way that I was going to be able to enjoy the kind of lifestyle I wanted and be able to live life on my terms. I was operating my own mobile coffee van when I read that Retail Food Group had acquired The Coffee Guy, and saw the opportunity for me to be part of something big. I am after a stress-free lifestyle and this business gives that to me. Quality of life is important to me, and I don't want to be in an office all day, I want to be outdoors spending time with people, doing something that I love. Customers are happy to see me and really enjoy the coffee I make."
