We're joined by Dustin & Whitney Cole, the married-duo behind Berrybox Superfood Bar at The City Foundry and Clayton. Dustin and Whitney's love story has always been surrounded by entrepreneurship. Before Berrybox, the couple owned a nail salon. During their time living in other states, they quickly fell in love with health and wellness and discovered smoothie bowls. They knew there was a market in STL for a healthy option so they jumped into this with no prior hospitality experience. 

Berrybox has quickly gained success and popularity as their goal is to continue to open new locations while also creating a franchise model to help others launch into business. In this episode, we talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, working with your partner, and more.
