What's your business, and who are your customers?
Temujin Foods is a boutique family food company that specializes in high-quality organic dumplings and pies that are freshly made and delivered frozen to the doorsteps of our customers. Our customers are people who love fresh, authentic, and quality wholesome food. Our customers have a busy lifestyle, so something freshly made and easy to prepare is always a bonus.
Tell us about yourself
I started Temujin foods because of my personal motivation to solve the dinner dilemma for the family. We were busy parents of three who found it hard to have a home-cooked meal for our family. We knew that they couldn't rely forever on take-out or frozen food options with all the preservatives. On dedicated weekends we would make dumplings and share the extras with friends and neighbors. Soon the whole neighborhood fell in love with them.
What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?
The biggest accomplishment is to know that hundreds of families every evening will enjoy family dinner together, and Temujin dumplings and pies are part of it.
What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?
Scaling and getting the right team together.
What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?
- Don't be afraid to start
- Be flexible
- Create Community
