| | WOMEN OWNED BLACK DOG CAFE |
|  | | ☕ Tallahassee's Black Dog Cafe has found a new owner. | WFSU Black Dog Cafe is already considered a community institution. Carla Reid is passing on the beloved cafe to a dedicated employee after 27 years, assuring everyone that the cozy vibe will remain intact. 🫱🏻🫲🏽 Reid wouldn't sell her business to just anyone, but she believes that Hannah Cummings, the new owner, is absolutely the right fit. “She loves the shop. She’s been coming in since she was 19 years old," Reid says. "And she’s the perfect person to take it over. She’s been working as my manager for the past year in preparation for this.” Black Dog Cafe is located at 229 Lake Ella Dr. Follow their socials: FB and IG, to be in the know about their latest offerings. | Menu

| 🧁 Jennifer Young’s success in TC Bakery. | 850 Business Magazine Baking brings Jennifer Young a deep sense of fulfillment. Her love for crafting delicious desserts shines through every bite, turning TC Bakery into a beloved spot for dessert lovers. TC Bakery specializes in delightful desserts and traditional Southern treats, showcasing the cherished and classic flavors that remind her of her childhood. The bakery supplies fresh pastries to businesses around Tallahassee, including Piggly Wiggly, RedEye Coffee, Fresh 4 Less, and Community Co-Op, and Tallahassee International Airport in partnership with Tailwind Hospitality, Inc. | OEV Young worked as a grant manager for the State of Florida, but she found comfort in baking. For almost three years, she juggled her government responsibilities with her after-hours baking gig of creating cakes. The incredible support and interest in her cakes from both friends and strangers showed her that baking could be the key to growing her small cottage food business into something bigger. 🥰 “The success hasn’t changed me a bit,” Young said. “I’m still country Jennifer, passionate about what I do and loving every moment of it. I truly believe I’ve found my calling.”

Cost: Since cost is measured in $/kWh, simply tripling the energy (kWh) – reduces the cost by 3x. In addition, Piersica’s technology does not use new, rare metals.
