Supporting Small Business - It's a Family Thing!
I have an extensive background of small owned family businesses, dating back to my great-great grandmother selling meat pies, out of her home, to help supplement her small monthly income in Natchitoches, LA. She was known throughout the town for her meat pies! My great grandparents and grandmother on my mothers side, were also small business owners having several small doughnut, hamburger cafes and thrift stores in South Dallas.
Present day, my parents own and operate a Vape store in the small town of Quinlan, started in 2013, Vapor Train. It has grown from a kitchen table start-up to a 1200 square foot brick and mortar business! Other businesses in our family include:
