Bonnie Brewer and Stacy Kim were college roommates. While at school, they shared dreams of opening their own business.

Several years later, after working at other companies to gain experience, the two women decided to take the plunge together and made a plan to open a small café where they and their customers could indulge their love of good coffee and fine chocolate. They looked at two locations for their café: one near Pike Place Market, which gets a lot of foot traffic from shoppers and businesspeople, and one near the university, where shops and restaurants are patronized by students, faculty, staff, and local residents. They chose the university location because they thought they knew and understood those customers well. The doors to Custom Coffee & Chocolate opened several months later, with…
Their board of directors in 2014 was delighted with their cash flow and profits. However, they were concerned about future growth because of changing diets of many consumers who had become more concerned about consuming milk-based products. The company had already added low-fat versions of the major products but the board members were concerned that this would not be sufficient to sustain their growth and profits.

In January 2011, Greg along with his wife Naijha opened the Land of Kush in Baltimore’s Seton Hill neighborhood. The name of the restaurant is a reference to the ancient Nile Valley civilization: “I wanted to bring a modern awareness to ancient African culture,” says Mr. Brown. The theme of the restaurant’s menu primarily focuses on putting a vegan twist on traditional southern comfort food. The menu features vegetable-based dishes such as yams, kale, and cabbage, along with barbecued “ribs” and vegan “crab-cakes'' which are actually made of soy protein and seitan wheat. The children’s menu features smaller portions of their vegan “mac and cheese” and black…
