Last November, Karen talked with FOY
Superfoods owner Liz Garza about the origins of Mobile,
Alabama's first and only Juicery and Fresh Eats Restaurant, how she
is managing her 2 locations during COVID, and how she and her
husband kept the store open while they had to quarantine. Plus, Liz
shares her insights on innovating, creating new revenue streams,
leading by example, and preparing her staff to keep FOY running in
any crisis.
