Join us as we hear from the Queen of Florence, a business tycoon of restaurants with 3 under her belt, Georgie Brunton. Listen in as we hear from her how she found Miss Flo's for sale on Facebook and how on a whim she decided to purchase the Old Girl. What does it mean to rehab old restaurants in small towns and how do business owners play an essential role in the vibrancy of a community. Having owned Miss Flo's for over 7 years she now has 27 employees between all 3 locations. Georgie believes in community philanthropy and giving back is a part of her being. From plunging into freezing water for All Out Adventures or supporting Big Brothers Big Sisters with loads of pies for their Big Love Little Performances event, she steps up and encourages others to as well through her actions. I know that she will not stop at 3, does anyone want to guess how many businesses she will own in the next 10 years? I'll guess 5 total. Who wants to bet me?
