There is an unmet demand in the Boston south shore area for French pastries and a place that allows one to unwind in a buttery, flaky croissant and a cup of aromatic coffee. Keegan Kreations aims to be the neighborhood bakery and cafĂŠ that serves its customers with pastries and drinks of the finest quality.
With less than $9,000, Thim (Keegan) Yee and his wife, Yilin Chen, started Keegan Kreations in September 2017. We have been selling at farmers markets, holiday markets, and pop-ups in the greater Boston area and south shore. With only 12 four-hour sales days a month, our website, and minimal marketing efforts on social media, we are averaging $4,583 revenue per month in the last 12 months, up to $11,600 per month.
The Keegan Kreations Bakery and CafĂŠ will be serving freshly made croissants, tarts, cakes, cookies, and espresso drinks. In addition to retail, we will continue to sell online and at farmers markets, and we plan to wholesale our products to local coffee shops. Keegan and Yilin expect to run the operation with the help of 3 part time employees. Keegan graduated from Johnson and Wales University in Baking and Pastry Arts and has 8 years of experience in professional kitchens at various hotels and restaurants. Yilin has a background in hospitality and last worked at the five diamond Wheatleigh Hotel in Lenox, MA.
