Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Jody Carriere, founder of Creemore Bakery, located in Creemore, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

Here at the bakery, we make everything from scratch with the best ingredients we can find. No artificial colors preservatives or flavorings. All low in sugar and surprisingly we keep the calorie count as low as possible. We are about making good wholesome food for our customers that also tastes delicious. We specialize in brioche donuts and believe me they are awesome! Our customers come from the neighborhood, surrounding areas as well as the GTA. They are foodies...just like us...

Tell us about yourself

It is our background. Food, hospitality, nutrition, and retail. We are foodies at heart and saw a need to bring some unique goods to the table. We love great experiences and wanted to give our customers a little bit of a treat and experience in one.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Our biggest accomplishment is loving what we do. In return...our customers love what we do.

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

One of the hardest things is the long hours. Long, long hours...

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

The best tip I can give is to make it about the human experience...customers, staff, and yourself first...the profits will follow. Get good staff and make them happy!! Pay them well, treat them well. If you don't love it, don't do it.

Anything else you'd like to share?

At Creemore Bakery we serve really really good coffee, lunches, and baked goods. We do not do everything but what we do, we feel it is the best we have had so let's share it with people. Spread a little love...…
