Helen’s Bistro & Bakery Chapter 2 SBDC Success Story

Helen and Craig Keith owned and operated a local restaurant for several years. The landlord owned the property and the restaurant name. The Keiths ultimately made the decision to change locations in order to keep their business going.

The county library has a small space for a food service­-based business that opened up. Helen and Craig jumped on the opportunity. In their short time there, sales have been good and continue to grow. The Keiths worked with James Leavelle, Senior Certified Business Advisor at the Angelo State University Small Business Development Center as they changed locations and as they look to expand to a second location.

“SBDC allowed us to explore new ideas for the relocation and expansion of the business. Financing options are a large part of the SBDC help.”
