  • Aasia Baig - Centenary Lounge
    Aasia Baig is the founder and owner of Centenary Lounge. She began her journey in the railways in 2001, when she and her husband opened their first retail store in Solihull Station. In 2003 Birmingham Moor St Station reopened after extensive restoration by Chiltern Railways. When Aasia visited the station looking for an empty unit where she could open a quality cafe, she fell in love with the charming quaint station. This encouraged her to learn about the history of the railways and the refreshment rooms and thus the idea of recreating a 1930s Great Western Railway inspired refreshment room was born. Since then she has opened the first class lounge in Worcester, with a new branch opening in Leamington Spa later in 2022 and franchises opening around the country.
    Carrie met Aasia to learn more about her extraordinary journey, growing up working in her parent's shop, before launching her first business at just 21 years old. Aasia has an amazing track record of buying run down businesses and turning them into successful operations and in this episode she shares her successes and the challenges she's overcome along the way.
