Today we’d like to introduce you to Nikita Seal, founder of ZZ’s Ice Cream Puffs a woman and veteran-owned food truck company launched in 2020.
Tell us what made you launch ZZ’s Ice Cream Puffs and where did the idea derive from?
ZZ’s ice cream puffs is named after my then five year old twins . It’s a Cali inspired treat . Once I was laid off from my corporate job in 2020 it was now or never to take the big leap to start ZZ’s.
What’s the benefit of having a food truck compared to a brick-and-mortar location?
The overhead! I own the truck so no monthly cost. Our costs are lower since our biggest cost per event is the gas to get us there.
In a perfect world, what’s your end goal for ZZ’s Ice Cream Puffs?
Franchised locations all over, take the company public.
What’s the most difficult aspect of being in the food industry?
Each city has different health inspection requirements which can be frustrating when doing public events in multiple cities a month.
What do you enjoy most about entrepreneurship?
The freedom to create my own schedule and not need anyones permission for anything.
What do you enjoy least about entrepreneurship?
The being broke phase in the beginning.
Last but not least, tell us an entrepreneur you #COSIGN and why you #COSIGN them.
