I received my business license 5 years ago today!! Oh, how things have changed!
Five years ago, I began baking from home, on Lake Opinicon, in my tiny little kitchen. π©π»βπ³π
I launched 23&co. during COVID.
People were looking for bits of joy, cookies! πͺ My family convinced me that I had nothing to lose and that it was my turn to take a chance on myself.
Sales were very good and it became apparent that my kitchen was too small.
Since those early days, I have moved in and out of a few commercial kitchens and I have changed my business model a few times. What hasn't changed is my love for what I do and my commitment to providing my customers with a wonderful experience. ππͺπ©π»βπ³
Come visit us at 60 Brock street in beautiful downtown Kingston. I love my little cookie shop and the opportunity to control my product, my brand, and the customer experience. I am learning so much (mostly about myself) and am having fun. The days are long but I am happy to be building a small team of cookie peeps who share my passion. πͺπ
Thank you to the awesome people I have met along the way. Thank you for believing in me. Thank you for supporting my little dream.
Cheers to the next five years!π₯π«Άπ»ππͺπ©π»βπ³
