Blessed Spoonful LLC is applying for government grants to update their location in order to comply with state and local regulations, ensuring a safe work environment for both staff and customers. The business aims to grow by expanding through franchising, with the current funding request centered on their first franchise location.
The applicant highlights the significant emotional and financial toll of the Covid-19 pandemic, sharing a personal journey marked by perseverance in pursuing the American Dream. As a young African American woman, the applicant expresses a commitment to serve her community, and securing this grant is seen as a vital step in achieving that goal.
In terms of competition, Blessed Spoonful identifies larger businesses like Zoups, Pot Belly, and Panera Bread as their main rivals, noting that while these competitors have broader reach, they differentiate themselves through their unique menu offerings. Blessed Spoonful's competitive edge lies in providing healthy alternatives to traditional fast food. They emphasize freshness, using high-quality, gluten-free, and Halal ingredients, and catering to various dietary needs, including vegan and vegetarian options, alongside a diverse menu featuring soups, salads, sandwiches, seafood, and smoothies.

Business Plan
We plan to grow our business buy expand our brand through franchising. The current location we are requesting funds for, is a new franchise, and is also our first franchise. Like many of us know to well, the discovery of Covid-19 have been costly; and not just monetary, but both the emotional and spiritual cost have also taken there tolls. After years of trial and error, patience and persistence, I final felt I’ve etched out a piece of my own America Dream, only to be sideline by the pandemic. As a young African American woman I was taught that we stand on the shoulders of those who’ve sacrificed and endured the painful cost of freedom. Securing this grant will assist me in my ongoing life work to capture and fulfill that Dream and serve my community.
