Building a Business, One Flavor at a Time
|
A high school friend working at a Spokane coffee shop in 1982 guided Jennifer Al-Abboud ’86 to the world of gelato. Now, the Logger and her husband, Fareed, use the dessert to make a living while fostering community connections.
“It’s a happy product,” says Al-Abboud. “People come into our shop happy and leave happier. If they don’t come in happy, they leave happy.”
When threatened with layoffs after teaching in Dubai, the Al-Abbouds cashed in their retirement funds to open a gelateria with flavors inspired by their travels. They trained with Italian gelato masters in Philadelphia and Italy, where they learned to make artisan gelato from scratch using a rarely taught production method.
