Here are two people in Chicago you have to meet! On the right is Teresa Ging, Founder and CEO of Sugar Bliss an independent woman minority-owned bakery in downtown Chicago. Sugar Bliss offers a wide variety of baked goods including morning pastries, cupcakes, cake pops, French macarons, brownies, cookies, and more. On top of that, Teresa also launched a line of packaged products back in 2020, and via connections she made via RangeMe and ECRM she has landed some TREMENOUS deals in both retail and foodservice! On the left is Matthew Stannah, the lead bartender at La Grande Boucherie in downtown Chicago. He's one of my best friends from Astoria, and worked at Boucherie's amazing NY location. When they opened this restaurant in Chi-twon earlier this year, Matt and his wife Annie moved there to help out (Annie handles events for the restaurant, so if you are looking for a cool place to celebrate a birthday or other special occasion, definitely check it out!) I interviewed Teresa last week about her brand's success, and when I mentioned my friend's restaurant, she wanted to check it out. Matt sent me this pic last night! Keep an eye out for our blog post later this month featuring Teresa! Nothing makes me happier than connecting good friends! Next, we'll get Maggie Sadowsky of 8 Track Foods over there -- especially since she lives close by! BTW -- Maggie and Teresa, the two of you should definitely meet! You have a lot in common! 😁 #retail #restaurants #hospitality #foodservice #cpg #ecrmrangeme
