I'm Carolyn McArdle, and we are so excited to be bringing you another round of insightful conversations with small business owners who are as unique as their ventures. Today, I'm joined by owner and creator of Mo’Pweeze Bakery, Christine Allen. Mo’Pweeze Bakery is a top eight allergen-free and vegan bakery serving New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Christine joins us to share her story, and give a little bit of sweet insight into running a successful business. So get ready, it's time for Uniquely Small Biz brought to you by Selective Insurance. I wanna jump right in and ask you, Christine, what makes Mo’Pweeze Bakery unique?

 


Christine: So many things. First of all, Mo’Pweeze Bakery came out of a mom, myself, trying to figure out something, how to create something for my child. So I have 11 year old twins and they have a ... my son had a lot of food allergies and I had to create top allergen-free and vegan and all that stuff. So there's not a lot of bakeries out there that's doing what we do, and I think it's unique because there's so much passion and love and because it's my day to day life. That's what makes it so special and also very unique and also a niche business as well.
