59 | Brittany Garbutt, Pretzel and Doughing It Right
Manage episode 358094710 series 3321537
Brittany Garbutt is the founder of Pretzel Australia. Pretzel has 11 stores across Australia, a business turnover of more than $5 million a year and over 300 staff.
In addition to Pretzel, she’s also the founder of Voodoo Cafe, Voodoo Priestess, and Chubby Boy Breakfast and Bar. But I'm (k)not joking, the pretzels are beyond amazing. So pretty stoked I got to interview Brittany!
In this interview, we cover the story of starting up with her life savings invested in a pink shipping container selling pretzels, managing store expansion right as the pandemic started, and lessons learned along the way.
Incredibly fun conversation this one, Britt’s energy is infectious, but fair warning, a few F-bombs will be dropped so don’t say I didn’t warn ya!
But please enjoy my conversation with Brittany Garbutt.
