YOUR BUSINESS AUTHORITY
Springfield, MO
Then: Co-owner in several ventures, including Big Whiskey’s and Parlor 88
Now: Co-owner and senior vice president of operations, Big Whiskey’s
This entrepreneur has settled in on a single concept.
In 2010, Paul Sundy was involved in myriad restaurant ventures, including Parlor 88 Lounge & Eatery and the now defunct Fedora Social House.
It was Big Whiskey’s that would ultimately prove to be a boon for Sundy and his business partners. He’s now focused solely on the nine-restaurant venture with more, including franchisees, on the way.
“As you get older, you start to re-evaluate your focus and make sure it’s still intriguing to you,” he says. “I was getting so misconstrued with the noise, rather than really making something big.”
Utah-based gourmet cookie chain Crumbl Cookies opened its first Springfield shop; interior design business Branson Upstaging LLC relocated; and Lauren Ashley Dance Center LLC added a second location.
