Women have been starting businesses at a higher rate than men for the last 20 years and tend to create home-based micro (less than 5 employees) and small businesses. Women will create over half of the 9.72 million new small business jobs expected to be created by 2018 and more and more are doing this from home offices across the country. That's why Working Women of Tampa Bay is starting a monthly Entrepreneur Lunch & Learn at Flamestone American Grill in Oldsmar. This month's featured speaker is Nique Mealey - Co-Founder of Back 9 Dips.
Nique Mealey along with David Mealey are the presidents and Cofounders of Back 9 Dips, a popular and succsessful line of snack dips. Back 9 Dips was born from products the Mealeys created for their barbeque catering business. At the urging of friends and happy customers, the couple turned a favorite recipe - Bubba¹s Buffalo Chicken Dip The Chicken Wing on a Chip - into an entrepreneurial venture that grew into a successful business. In less than four years, the Mealeys have transformed a small catering business into a company that sells products in 4,000 retail outlets nationwide and ships to customers from coast to coast. Back 9 Dips have been heard on the Bubba The Love Sponge syndicated radio program and seen on ABC-TV¹s Shark Tank,The List and Good Day Tampa Bay. The couple has also been profiled in Entrepreneur Magazine.
