Case Study: Empanadas On the Go grows its business with SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty

Empanadas On the Go - Customer Case Study

Empanadas On the Go, led by Jackie Mendive in Riverside, Connecticut, needed help turning a homemade empanada idea into a real business. They turned to SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty for guidance on how to structure the company, form an LLC, and get the business off the ground, along with support on branding and marketing.

SCORE Mentors Berks and Schuylkill Cty, through mentor Brian Jarvis, helped Mendive with the legal framework, LLC setup, bookkeeping, branding, and marketing. The result was significant growth in less than a year: Mendive went from using the commercial kitchen every other week to every week with three staff members, and the business expanded through word of mouth, social media, and farmers’ markets.
