EPISODE CXLIII | "LASTING LEGACY" w/ FREDA CRUMP

Verbally Effective

The name Crumpy’s has been synonymous with hot wings for the last 30 years. Miss Crumpy’s is a second-generation company that promotes healthy eating, cooking, community development, and family togetherness. Miss Crumpy’s is led by founder Freda Crump. Freda has more than 25 years of cooking experience and it all started at home. Freda’s father opened his first Soul Food restaurant in Memphis, TN back in 1991 and the restaurants are still thriving today. Freda has successfully taken the experiences learned from working in her father’s restaurant to implementing them into Miss Crumpy’s by expanding from brick and mortar to a full product line and product development company. Freda has ensured that the brand is not only there to profit but also to give back. Take a listen as Freda shares her journey of expanding her family’s legacy, the misogyny involved with having a small business and the art of product development.
