Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in food and beverage but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Teisha McKennon, Owner of Welcome 2 The Jungle Juice, located in Brampton, ON, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

We make a hand-crafted signature cocktail that is sure to please the palettes of different types of people. Our customers are free spirits who live to enjoy their loves.

Tell us about yourself

This cocktail has been something that I've been making for my family since 2017. It wasn't until June 2019 when my cousin tasted it and said why don't I start selling it. My motivation comes from my customer's feedback. I live for it, whether it be good, bad, or indifferent.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

Developing my newest flavour and having it sell out faster than the original

What's one of the hardest things that come with being a business owner?

I feel having people trying to lowball my price. Like Fat Joe said, yesterday's price is not today's price.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

Research your product(s), keep going on your worst day, and always remember if you believe you will achieve.

Is there anything else you'd like to share?

Thank you for this opportunity. I'm grateful for this. Also, thank you to all my customers/supporters.

Where can people find you and your business?
