Anyone following my Twitter feed this weekend knows that I was down in Montreal representing for Winged Beast Outfitters at a craft fair.
The weather was against us, but I and all the vendors did our bests.
Silver lining: the Jane’s Donut girls were out. They are experts at the donut craft.
We got to talking about their plans for the future. Eventually, one said, they want to have a brick and mortar coffee shop. This is an amazing idea, since then I could get one of their maple bacon donuts any time I wanted (when I’m in Montreal)!
To maybe spur them along, I suggested the Young Canadian Business Foundation. They offer loans and peer mentoring to small businesses looking to start-up/step-up their game. I’ve known about this organisation for few years and have heard good things (I too dream of applying one day).
I hope it’s helpful and gets the Jane’s Donut duo a little further down the road to their goals.
And, that was a street-level-small-time-capitalism-dipped-in-chocolate-and-sprinkles Reference Bomb! Bam!
