My Waffle Story

My Waffle Story

Author: Samuel Ngandu
Date: 2022-07-28

Hey there, I'm Samuel Ngandu; the owner of BREWS, a waffle wholesaler in Ballito. I am 17 years old local entrepreneur. And proud to introduce my business to you.

I began my journey in December 2021, yet I've had the thought of starting a business floating in my mind for many months before, I just didn't have the knowledge to implement this idea. But 8 months ago, I started and launched my new venture. The thought of launching a business on my own was scary, it was new and I had no clue on how to start. With the support of my family and friends, here I am today.

I've inherited a waffle recipe that has stood the test of time for 4 generations. Over time, I changed the simple Belgium waffle given to me into something of my own, I now have 4 different flavours, Choe-chip, Blueberry, Apple, and the Original, more flavours to come... watch this space!

I'm happy with the progression but it made me realise how fortunate I am to have supportive people in my lives. But, it makes me think of how many people out there have excellent ideas but don't act upon them due to fear. My journey is bumpy but I'm determined. I want to inspire my generation to learn skills that will be needed for the future, we're in troublesome times right now and being able to make money out of things you can do yourself is priceless.

Oh wait, I'm supposed to advertise myself. If you're interested in purchasing proper Belgium waffles, please contact us therealbrews@gmail.com
