Frozen drinks

Yara L.

Yara is 26 years old, has been married for five years and has two children with her husband Roberto. They have already run several businesses. Initially, they ran a clothing store that did very well because they were pioneers with an online store. However, competition became stronger and Yara was unable to work for a month due to a hospital stay. They later ran a delivery service, but due to many accidents and difficult employees, this was not a long-term success either. Other businesses also only worked for a certain amount of time, so they finally started Freaking Frozen, which was a long-standing passion for both of them.

Project description

On the one hand, they liked the food area and on the other hand, they realized that there was no way for young people to drink something that was fresh and youthful but didn't contain alcohol. So they created a cozy bar atmosphere where they serve tasty cold drinks without alcohol and realized their dream. Knowing from their entrepreneurial past that they needed help, BPN came at just the right time for them. Although they already had a lot of experience and Yara has a degree in marketing and they had also attended some courses, they say that what they are learning at BPN is different from what they knew before. Before, a lot of it was just theoretical and not very realistic.

At BPN, they appreciate the professional tools and the fact that the personal coach helps them to put what they have learned into practice in everyday life. They want to open more branches in the future and ensure that they retain their fresh image and continue to delight customers with innovative flavor blends. They also invest a lot in their staff because they know that customer contact is particularly important in their business. For quality assurance purposes, they send an anonymous customer to their store once a week to rate the service.
