We had the good fortune of connecting with Alejandro Contreras and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Alejandro, any advice for those thinking about whether to keep going or to give up?
You gotta find motivation in the small things. See what you’re doing right and take the best out of it to have that encouragement to keep going and getting bigger
Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
We make handcrafted sourdough donuts in Raleigh, North Carolina. We’re a pandemic born business that’s been functioning online. Using a ghost kitchen and wholesaling to coffee shops in the area and also doing retail and catering for weddings, corporates and special events
What sets us apart is the techniques and ingredients we use and the desire to have the best donuts in the area
We just signed a lease so I’m excited about opening our first brick and mortar in 2024.
it wasn’t easy. I got here business-wise always trying to be better everyday. Making the difference and specially being consistent and disciplined. Showing up everyday even in the worst times. Consistency is everything.
