Bear & Dragon

From Food Truck to Restaurant and Book Store - A Business Expansion

Amanda and Chris, a husband-wife team, owned and operated a food truck/horse trailer from a rented lot in downtown Prescott. The husband-wife team self-funded with their personal savings and converted a horse trailer into a food truck. They soon began selling coffee then graduated to sandwiches, Paninis, and salads.

"When it came to the loan process, we couldn’t have done it nearly as well without your help and support. We are so thankful for all you do for us and our community! Knowing you and the SBDC Team are behind us means so much!"

Wicked Treats

Life is too short to skip dessert, eat the darn cookie

Kali Martinez, owner of Wicked Little Treats LLC, specializes in hand-crafted desserts made with non-perishable ingredients.

“The SBDC gave me the help I needed to get started with licensing, tax overview, local resources, and further education to fit my goals. It’s been a crazy year, and I couldn’t have figured all this out on my own."
