SOUTH CHARLESTON -- You've heard of climbing the corporate ladder, but a 26-year-old Putnam County woman has taken that concept to heart.
Jessica Johnson worked at the Schlotzky's in Teays Valley for nine years - working her way from cashier to manager.
Then in October, even though some people thought it was a little crazy, Johnson got a Small Business loan and bought her very own store.
That made her the youngest franchisee in the Schlotzky's chain.
"I was not scared to do this because I believed 100 percent" Johnson said. "I knew it was something I wanted to do and if for whatever reason it didn't work out I knew there was someone looking out for me and it wasn't meant to be."
Johnson says she has been focusing on catering, delivery and customer service to keep profits up despite the economy. |
