Antonio and Patricia's Story
Antonio and Patricia opened Totally Nutz, a roasted nut franchise, in Jan. 2020. However, the pandemic slowed their fledgling business. They needed support to grow. Last year, they joined our Website Build Initiative and received a redesigned website. They also attended our Thrive Small Business Summit to learn more about marketing their business.
“Having a small business has been very interesting and Mile High United Way has really helped us understand how to make it grow.”
