A Masterclass in Scaling a Brewery to Multiple Locations in NYC | Tara Hankinson and LeAnn Darland @ TALEA (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tara Hankinson and LeAnn Darland met at a beer e-commerce startup in 2018, filed an LLC three months later after three bottles of wine and a session on Rocket Lawyer, and signed the lease on their Williamsburg brewery in November 2019. Then the pandemic hit, and everything else did too. 5 years later: TALEA Beer Co. runs five taprooms across Brooklyn and Manhattan with a sixth opening on the Upper West Side, and distributes to more than 1,500 bars, restaurants, and retailers across New York, New
How to Build a Shop Where the Product Sells Itself | Sarah Maher @ Village & Vessel (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sarah Maher spent a year selling crystals off picnic tables in her garage with no business plan, then signed a lease before she'd figured out how to run a store. Three years later, she owns Village and Vessel, a crystal and tarot shop in Oak Park, and she's still building through chaos: this year, the village tore up the entire street outside her door for construction that won't wrap until fall. Before crystals, Sarah taught and performed improv at Second City, iO, and ComedySports, then spent y
8 Years In, She's Still Behind the Counter. On Purpose. With Bookstore Owner Christina Rosso-Schneider (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Christina Rosso-Schneider and her husband Alex got married six weeks before opening A Novel Idea in Philadelphia's East Passyunk neighborhood. Almost eight years later, the store still runs on just the two of them and a rotating pair of part-timers, and that's mostly by design. When your name and your face are the reason customers walk in, Christina says, hiring around that doesn't lighten the load. It hands someone else the weight of a job they can't actually do for you. That community has carr
The Chef Who Turned a Dying Polish Deli Into Brooklyn's Zestiest Lebanese Grocery | Edy Massih (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Early May 2020. Edy Massih's catering business had gone to zero: weddings canceled, events gone, income at nothing. So he called the woman who'd run the Polish deli around the corner for 43 years and asked to take over her shop. She said no. Three weeks later, on Memorial Day, she called back: she'd talked to her family, and she was ready. That corner store became Edy's Grocer, North Brooklyn's first Lebanese market and deli. Edy became a Forbes 30 Under 30 chef, cookbook author, and TV regular.
The $300K Hood Hurdle: Why Scaling a Donut Business Is So Hard (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Liz Sperman had the idea for a gluten-free donut company in 2013 and didn't sell her first donut until 2022. In between, she worked nearly every job in the kitchen: barista, cake decorator, production supervisor at a gluten-free startup, and supervisor on a donut food truck. A mentor told her you don't earn the right to run a kitchen you've never worked in, so she did the work first. Then she built Hayley's Donut for her niece Hayley, who was diagnosed with celiac at age two, and picked the sing
