Summer special: Putting quality at the heart of your business and opening your first retail space with Joe from gelato makers, Joelato
Description
There has been much talk about the new St James Quarter that opened in Edinburgh last month, and a huge amount of discussion and excitement about their food market - Bonnie & Wild. We’ll be discussing the wider development in more depth next series, but we wanted to first catch up with one of the traders in the new market, gelato makers Joelato - because what better way to celebrate summer on the show?!
Founded in Perthshire by Joe Sykes with his partner Lucy, this will be Joelato’s first foray into retail. They had dreams of starting their own food business, and through lockdown turned that vision into a reality, creating a product which people couldn’t help but shout about - including former guest on the show, Flora Shedden.
We talk about his passion for Scotland’s bountiful produce, why he finds Italy so inspiring, coping when things go wrong and preparing for such an anticipated opening. Enjoy!
