Happy Birthday to us! So many amazing things have happened in the last 4 years! Have you been following along? We would love for you to share your favorite Hope & Main stories with us this week!
Everyone at Hope and Main has been so supportive and still are since I have become a member and started a business while working a full time job. Their dedication to all the members deserve recognition .I had a dream to create a new product and they have been there for me all the way . I am a work in progress but from what I hear my Secrets in the Kitchen Marinara Sauce is the best! Im going to produce my next and final product which will only be a fall specialty. Its called The Vine Grape Syrup. People have also tasted this product for 4 years through Hope and Mains Meet Your Maker events and it has been enjoyed by thousands of people. This will be my final year of work and I will retire to dedicate more time to my family and business. Thank you again to all of you!
Happy Birthday 🎂 I’m filled with joy on your success and the number of food Entrepreneurs that you have guided to make their dreams become reality. You will always be in my heart ! Best wishes always !
One of my favorite memories is the time my keys dropped down the elevator to the very bottom. EVERYONE pitched in to help from our electrician to people working in kitchens, to our next door neighbor...that big effort exemplifies the heart of the community here and this photo captured the moment so well. I'm so grateful for my H&M fam!
Wow Allison...that is amazing..Congratulations...!!
