Today I chat with Justin Simmons, one-half of the dynamic duo behind the successful sandwich joint Tony & Pete's in Dayton, Ohio. After spending years as a bartender, Justin and his wife, Kathleen, took a leap of faith to create a neighborhood favorite that's celebrating its first anniversary. Listen in as Justin shares their challenges, from securing the right real estate to developing a standout brand. Learn how they leveraged social media to attract customers and create a buzz around their concept. And find out what it's really like to work side by side with your spouse in the high-pressure world of running a restaurant.
