LEAD

Today I connected with my friend Francine Gomes, co-founder of Cluck N Cleaver, to discuss her ideas on leadership.  We also discuss the challenges Francine deals with on a daily basis - inflation, supply chain issues, staffing shortages - and how she overcomes them.And since Francine did open Cluck N Cleaver with her sister Nicole Gomes - we needed to talk about how they’ve managed to build a successful business and still remain close.  No doubt their mother, who Francine credits as one of her mentors, has something to do with that!I have been fortunate to work with Francine over the past few years through Alberta Beer Festivals and have always admired her passion.  I’m grateful that she has allowed me to share her story - I hope that you enjoy our conversation.The Kondrat Podcast:  website | instagram | facebook Francine Gomes, Cluck N Cleaver: website | instagram

LEAD: Francine Gomes - Co-Founder, Cluck N Cleaver

Cluck N Cleaver’s Co-Founder and Chief Poultry Officer Francine Gomes joins us on this week on Let’s Meet For A Beer for a chat about career ADD and leading from below.In 2016, Francine Gomes’ career ADD finally led her to going into business with her partner Nicole, who has spent 20 years developing the secret blend of spices that makes Cluck N Cleaver’s crispy fried chicken so unique.The two of them had previously worked together in fine dining, with Nicole as a chef and Francine in front of house. Francine would later move to BC and begin raising chickens on her hobby farm. The two had joked about starting a fast food chain previously and one day Francine got a phonecall from her sister: “Remember that idea? Let’s do it”Two years after the two opened their first location in Calgary, funding the business out of their own pockets without a single outside investor to date, they have ambitious goals. In the next decade they hope to open 100 locations across Canada and eventually expand into the US market too. Not only that, but Francine hopes to revolutionize the way we raise chickens.Let’s Meet For A Beer!Alberta Beer Festivals: website | twitter | instagramCluck N Cleaver: website | twitter | instagram
