They wanted us to know the demands of the business so we could make sure it fit our lifestyle. A business colleague referred them to the Small Business Development Center, where they met counselor Hank Pinto. Hank was tremendous. He got us started writing a business plan. He helped with all the hurdles of financing.
Hank visits the store often now.
He orders a Strawberry Banana Frost Smoothie and savors the Cold Stone commitment to a 10-minute vacation. A fantastic ice cream creation is complemented by courteous service from the staff that includes energetic, outgoing and motivated students. Then, Hank goes to work. He's offered advice about handling taxes, developing marketing strategies and motivating employees. That wide-ranging knowledge and accessibility encourage Kevin and Lea.
