Sherri’s Bakery

Entrepreneur Sherri Dunn worked with Ken Grissom at the Alabama SBDC at JSU to start and grow her bakery business in Centre, Alabama.

The SBDC at JSU has been with me every step of my journey as a small businessperson. Prior to starting the business, Ken Grissom helped me strategize and make basic plans. I started in a small space and outgrew that space by the end of year four. The SBDC has been one of my strongest supporters and allies.

The woman-owned designation is one that I am proud of, but all my family contributes to our success. We view our shop as family owned. Centre, Alabama is a small town, and our customers know my family from being involved in the community for many years. Repeat customers make our shop successful.

“I am thankful for Ken Grissom and his team at JSU. Ken has been a great resource as we started our business and all throughout these past five years! He has continued to follow up with me and provided valuable guidance when asked.”
