Business Owner

Many people have been a major part of our success. My family consists of my mom Mary and dad Chuck along with all the dedicated Cowgirl employees and managers. And, of course, we can’t forget our wonderful customers, as they are the reason for our success. I believe in a «team approach» and because of that I am offering the opportunity for others to be a part of our family. Some call it «Franchise», but we call it «Family-​Chise». Customer service, attention to detail in the restaurant and family fun is a big part of what we are all about. We are taking a systems approach to our expansion and businesses — systems run business and people run systems. Cowgirl Café is growing and franchising will help make Cowgirl Café a well recognized brand throughout the west.

We are dedicated to providing you and your family with the best tasting Down Home Cook’n. We hope to see you real soon!
