Meet Melissa
Melissa is proud to be the newest female franchise owner in Chicago, and she is thrilled to officially open her doors this May. After an impressive 20-year career in consumer brand marketing—where she led strategy and growth for some of the nation’s top personal care and food brands—Melissa is channeling her experience, leadership, and passion into building something of her own right here in the city she loves.
Throughout her corporate career, Melissa built and led high-performing teams, drove brand expansion, and delivered measurable growth. While she found great success in that world, the desire to create a business rooted in her local community ultimately inspired her entrepreneurial leap. She is energized by the opportunity to grow her own business in Chicago, serve local families, and build a team that shares her vision for excellence.
As she prepares for launch, Melissa is actively seeking someone to join her in the early stages of the business—an individual who is excited to help lay the foundation, grow alongside her, and be part of something special from day one.
Melissa and her husband, Anthony, have called Chicago home for the past 10 years. They love raising their two young daughters in the city and are deeply invested in their community. When she’s not working or spending time with her girls, Melissa enjoys cooking, staying active, and exploring new restaurants around Chicago with Anthony.
With her strong business acumen, community focus, and entrepreneurial spirit, Melissa is poised to make a meaningful impact—both professionally and personally—as she embarks on this exciting new chapter.
If you’re organized, proactive, and excited to manage operations while delivering a stellar customer experience, we’d love to hear from you! Apply today and be part of our success story!!!
