We had the good fortune of connecting with Ashley Brown and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Ashley, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Cooking has always been a passion of mine. I wanted to provide amazing sweets and treats that look good, but taste even better.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I have gotten to where I am today because of my great customer service. I am big on treating my customers on how I would want someone to treat me if I was a customer. When I first started I gave away a lot of treats for free and gave major discounts either because my treats didn’t come out the way I wanted to. This road has not always been easy. I have learned to take my time, have great communication skills, treat all my customers with respect, and have great time management skills.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
My aunt deserves all the recognition. She is the reason why my business is flourishing. I came to her one day and said, “ Auntie I want to start a treat business.” She pushed me and challenged me to be the best I can be. If it wasn’t for her, Pootie’s Sweets and Treats wouldn’t have started.
