Two friends from high school have stayed in touch over the years. Their husbands are both very successful business professionals and they have an urge to do something creative. They have decided to open a boutique grocery store offering local produce, high-end meats, and imported cheeses. They plan on having 25-30 employees, most of whom will be part-time.
