Support came through the SMB (small and medium-sized businesses) Lab, a program developed by the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University aimed at helping small and midsize businesses navigate through growth-stifling issues. With their help, Kelly honed in on key operational hurdles and managed to position the retail store for success. As Kelly explained to the Phoenix Business Journal, "I learned after having gone through that I'm actually making some good decisions." Their menu now not only features a variety of drinks and food items but also includes health drinks with customizable supplements.
