West Indies Bakery And Restaurant Starts Cooking With Cano Publishing

Small family-run firm gearing up for the Major Leagues

(PRWEB) July 16, 2004 -- Cano Publishing Company, headquartered in New York, announced that it has been chosen to offer financial, public relations, and accounting support to the West Indies International Bakery and Restaurant on Chicagos South Side. A family-operated eatery, West Indies is seeking to expand its staff and facilities to handle national accounts and large-scale concession demands for such organizations as the Chicago White Sox, Chicago Bulls, and Milwaukee Brewers.

Opened in 1993, the West Indies International Bakery and Restaurant is owned and operated by Norma Stephenson, a native of Jamaica. The bakery is well known for its spicy beef and vegetable patties and its signature hard dough bread. According to her, the customers rave about the food. They put their finger up, 'that's the best food," she says.

In the early 1990s, the White Sox asked Stephenson to sell the spicy patties at Comiskey Park. But a rivalry with other park vendors and inadequate facilities ended her sales there. Stephenson opines that at that time people were not educated enough about Jamaican food. If it was now, it would skyrocket," she says.

The relationship with Cano Publishing will help raise awareness and build capital for the bakery to expand its facilities and compete at a major league level. Stephenson's son Osezua, who works in the bakery, says We're understaffed but very efficient." He is optimistic about the bakery's chances to succeed at a major level. Retreating is not an option," he proclaims.

Cano Publishing Company is a full service firm that assists aspiring entrepreneurs, leaders, and small businesses. The company proclaims itself a multi-cultural, bi-lingual firm supporting English- and Spanish-speaking clients.
