Small businesses also offer something the big chain businesses
cannot: an emphasis on quality and personal service.”
Jessica and Count Foreman with
their two sons
Jessica and Count Foreman
met when they worked in
the same restaurant. After
weathering the 2007 recession,
they decided to open their own
small business: a street cart
selling sautéed food, similar to
those Chef Count had seen in
his hometown of NYC. They set
up near Bethune Cookman University in Daytona Beach and soon
attracted an enthusiastic lunch crowd.
Now the Foremans and their two almost-grown sons help them
run Saute Kingz, which has become an award-winning catering
business in Holly Hill.
“We brought gourmet cooking to our neighborhood,” Jessica
Foreman says. “We want to say, you can come down to this area and
get great cuisine.”
What makes a small business like Saute Kingz take off? In many
cases, it’s originality. The aromas from the Foremans’ cart lured
college students and other local residents to drive past fast-food
places for a bite of something different. Saute Kingz’ champagne
lamb chops and Argentine nachos—two dishes that helped them
win first place at 2016’s King of the Grill competition in Ormond
Beach—are unique to the area.
Small businesses also offer something the big chain businesses
cannot: an emphasis on quality and personal service. “My husband
checks every onion, because we’re not buying in bulk,” Jessica
Foreman said. “We’re hands-on. Also, I think people like that they
can talk to us face-to-face.”
Small Business, Big Presence
Small businesses have a big presence locally. Saute Kingz is
one of almost 14,000 small businesses that bring revenue to Florida
Congressional District 6, which includes Volusia County. The U.S.
