I haven’t blogged about my shop, RED CABOOSE Frozen Yogurt + Coffee in a while and I thought this would be a fun post to do for new readers!
A brief history lesson:: My husband and I own a boutique frozen yogurt & coffee shop in the small resort town of Whitefish, Montana. We opened our shop in February 2011 [after a huge construction project that transformed our space from a diner to a cozy cafe] and I blogged about the beginning of our story here.
Our story was featured on HGTV “House Hunters” in August 2011 and that episode will run for 4 years- talk about AMAZING exposure for a new business, right?! You can read about the show here. Our episode will air again ONE WEEK FROM TONIGHT! [Wednesday, April 25th- check your local listings for the correct time].
It’s been quite the adventure, but I wouldn’t trade the opportunity to work and dream alongside of my husband- everyday. We both have two completely different jobs, which really splits up the load of responsibility as well as makes it a really pleasant experience in spending so much time together. It really works for us.
I am passionate about small business and seeing big dreams come true. I surround myself with entrepreneurs [online and in real life] that I love and respect….who also inspire me daily.
I receive a few emails a week asking me questions about starting a business [where to begin, steps to take, can this really be done ect…]. So, i’d like create a “business series” here on my blog- if there is interest. If you have any questions about starting your own business or just need some encouragement while you’re in the process- feel free to leave a comment below and I will do a Q&A post very soon.
Starting a business is not an easy road to take, but it’s oh so rewarding!
Until then….here’s a peak inside of our shop and our VISION VIDEO that we created when we began our journey. You can follow us on FACEBOOK as well!
