ProCO360 – Maria Empanada Explodes to Success - Live | Work | Love Colorado

“When I started the business I was washer, cook, manager… then… NO!  I need to grow with the business.”  

Lorena Cantarovici, Maria Empanada   

Lorena Cantarovici, like most food entrepreneurs, started baking her now famous empanadas at home.  But Lorena isn’t most food entrepreneurs – from the start, Lorena set out to create a successful business.  Lorena tells a true story about how “exploding empanadas” became a metaphor for sticking with it when things get tough, how she’s built the business to 3 stores and 14 outlets, and what Guy Fieri thought when he featured her on Drive-ins, Diners and Dives!  It’s a great story – and she’s an inspiring entrepreneur.
