ASBTDC Helps Will’s Cinnamon Shop Roll in the Dough
The product at Will’s Cinnamon Shop still tastes homemade, but the formerly home-based bakers now run a thriving Hot Springs business.
Will and Katie Byrd began baking cinnamon rolls from their home for friends, family, and acquaintances. The couple realized that their cinnamon rolls were in high demand, and that they needed a commercial space for their operation.
They approached the Henderson State University ASBTDC for assistance with opening a storefront and officially starting their business.
The HSU team helped the Byrds secure Small Business Administration-guaranteed financing to buy and renovate a location, which they opened in September. Will and Katie have also taken advantage of startup and marketing assistance and small business programs offered by the center.
