Valerie's Fried Pies and Sweet Treats | Application Preview
Valerie's Fried Pies and Sweet Treats is applying for government grants to cover the costs of their fire suppression system and to acquire a new hood system for their cooking equipment. Since starting the business, they have seen a 20% increase in sales and aim to sustain this growth while expanding over the next five years through additional locations and a food truck at local markets. They are also gaining traction on platforms like DoorDash and UberEats, becoming a favorite for many local offices.
The business highlights its identity as a small, family-owned operation that takes pride in its products. The joy they bring to their customers is evident, as they attract patrons from outside the area who seek out their treats. Approval of the funding would significantly enhance their ability to reach even more customers within the Tampa Bay area.
While they face competition from a few local delis and larger restaurants, Valerie's Fried Pies stands out by offering not only lunch specials but also delightful sweet treats. Customers often express nostalgia for the comforting, home-cooked feel of the food, which adds to the overall dining experience.

Business Plan
Since our inception we have increased sales by 20%. We hope to continue this growth through the rest of the year. In the next 5 years, we are hoping to open additional locations, as well as having a food truck at local markets in the area. We are growing on DoorDash and UberEats as a frequent shop for a lot of local offices. We are a small family owned and operated business. We pride ourselves in our products and love seeing the joy in peoples faces when they taste our food. We also have people drive from out of town to get our products because they enjoy them so much. It would mean the world to us if we could bring that joy and loyalty to more customers in the Tampa Bay area.
