Business Owner
I relocated from NYC in 1998 leaving behind my soon to be husband Rob to begin learning the deli business. Realizing this was where I wanted to be, I dug my heels in and did my best. Rob came down in 1999 with the intentions of getting a job. I realized that this was not going to work. I needed him to be successful at Pumpernickel’s. So what does any woman do who wants her way? I begged, cried, reasoned and what does any man do for the woman he loves, caves. So after getting married in 1999 we have worked side by side since. Some days are better than others but we are very proud of ourselves. Owning a business is a lot of hard work, though quite enjoyable. Long hours, strenuous work are the highlights. You don’t realize how exhausting it is to deal with the problems that arise with employees, equipment, deliveries and keep that smile on your face. Rob and I may seem rough around the edges or as some reviewers might say, «rude», really we’re quite nice people, get to know us
