Our company name “tankinz” comes from the names of my two kids Tanner and Kinsee, how’s that for creativity!
It is funny the directions life can take you. My wife and I graduated from college and wondered what direction we would go with our careers. My wife graduated in accounting and myself in communications. From the start we both had the itch to do our own thing. While keeping our day jobs (my wife worked at an accounting firm and my self selling television advertising) we dabbled a bit here with ebay here and there. We sold baby bracelets and ink cartridges and made a few bucks along the way.Â
Our first real big leap came when we purchased a small chinese restaurant and named it Little Hong Kong. We hired a chef and my wife worked the front end along with a few part time waitresses. On weekends I would spend time helping our chef out. Eventually I felt brave enough to take over the reigns in the kitchen. Business went well, so well infact that it become a columists from the Salt Lake Tribunes favorite place to eat and she ended up writing a very nice article about our little place which ended up on the front page of the local section of the paper. We got swamped and burned out at the same time. My wife and I decided that either we expand the size of the restaurant or sell it while business was good. We ended up selling the business and made out with a little cash.
We took a little time off on vacation, came back and got the itch again. This time we purchased a 40 year old business that manufactured chow mein noodles, wonton skins, egg roll skins and fortune cookies for some of the local restaurants around town. This is how we started in the fortune cookie business.
Below are some of the order from today. If you want to know how to understand them you will want to look at my first post from 11/12.
