Spotlight on Jayne Mochnacz of Super Sundaes
Q: Tell us a little about your business model/service and your target client.
A: To provide Ice Cream treats and cakes. We wanted it to be a place for families to come and celebrate life!
Q: What is your business background prior to owning this business?
A: My first jobs were in the restaurant industry. I received a BSBA from Northeastern University. Following graduation, I worked in the training department in a contract foodservice company, where I met my husband, Steve. When we started our family, I jumped out of that industry and into family childcare. Running my own accredited family childcare business was so rewarding! So, with all these experiences, I knew that in my next job, I wanted to continue to be my own boss.

Q: Tell us a little about your business model/service and your target client.
A: We have a 4,800 sq. ft. facility that specializes in personal training, elite athlete training, bootcamps, weight-loss and nutrition. We have a wide variety of talented certified trainers to work with every age group and fitness level. So for the mother who wants to get back to her pre-baby weight -- or the football player trying to gain muscle and strength to improve performance -- or the woman in her early 70s who wants to promote healthy bone density while working on core strength and balance -- or the businessman who wants to train safely with weights without getting hurt because it's been a while since he worked out... we have the perfect trainers. We are NOT an open gym so all sessions are by appointment only or while participating in our posted Unlimited Training group sessions. We feel great about offering a unique and personalized experience to our clients so they can reach their fitness goals.

Q: What is your business background prior to owning this business?
A: I have always been an entrepreneur. I started my first business when I was 21 years old. Most notably in 1995, I founded a non-profit for families of children with special needs called Care-to-Share Support Network, which I ran in Hillsborough and proudly raised money that went to good use for the special needs programming here in town. And now, here I am, it's been almost 7 years and I still love what I do!
Debbie Norz of Norz Hill Farm & Market
Debbie's initial thoughts when invited to participate in the Q&A Series, were "Although honored to be chosen to talk about being a woman business owner, this is a family business that I work with my husband and children. We all work together to make Norz Hill Farm & Market what it is today."
"With Debbie's comments noted, and with this being a busy time of year as the farm gears up for October hayrides and corn mazes, the EBDC thanks Debbie for taking a few minutes to answer our questions,” stated EBDC member Janine Erickson.
