Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Donato Giovine, Owner of Gorgeous Gelato, located in Portland, ME, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We produce and sell authentic, delicious Gelato. Our customers are families, kids, elderly people, and whoever has refined taste buds or already knows this product.
Tell us about yourself
It's a long story. We arrived twelve years ago from Milano, Italy, highly motivated to make the best possible authentic Gelato without cutting corners. The motivation is... a lot of passion!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
Customers so frequently tell us it's better than many places in Italy and the best they have ever tasted in the US.
What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?
Labor shortage.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Think, believe, and then work like a mule in the desert.
