| Peter and Marty helped them develop their business plan, set up finances and evaluate potential locations for the first Little Scoops shop, which opened in September 2002 in Blauvelt, NY.
As Little Scoops’ popularity grew, Michelle and Tanya began thinking about franchising.
“Peter and Marty put us in touch with people who helped us with the legal and management aspects of franchising,” Tanya says. “We’re now making preparations to go national, and we will exhibit at the International Franchise Association’s convention next year.”
Michelle adds that anyone interested in entrepreneurship will find everything they need at SCORE. “We have lots of female friends who have started their own businesses,” she says. “We refer them all to SCORE. It’s a great organization.”
