Surinder Goode. I’m a military spouse of 25 years and a mother of two teenagers. I moved to the US in 1997 and initially worked for various companies. In 2002 I leaped and opened my first coffee cart location on a military base in San Diego, California. Over the next fourteen years, my business grew to 7 carts at five base locations throughout the area. Many lessons were learned, but they were mine at the end of the day!! I understand the challenges of being a military spouse and the primary caregiver while operating your business.Please email me on surinder@thegoodeshow.com
