Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Cheryl Standage, owner of Piefection, located in Mesa, AZ, USA.
What's your business, and who are your customers?
We are an all scratch gourmet pie shop where daily pies are baked fresh with premium ingredients. Our fruit comes from the state it is best known for; we import our chocolate from Belgium, use real butter and make fresh whipping cream daily!
Tell us about yourself
Our mission is to help our customers create lasting memories around the table with amazing food!
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
We have been chosen as Mesa’s best bakery for eight years in a row, have been named by Yahoo.com as the best bakery in Arizona, and won top 10 bakeries by MSN.com.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Being frustrated whenever a customer is not 100% satisfied is our goal, and once in a while, we fall short since everything is made from scratch daily!
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
Start slow, never deviate from your mission and never think you have arrived!
Is there anything else you'd like to share?
Come and try the bear pie in the nation!
