How One Family Pulled Together To Create a Restaurant Success Story

In 2003, long time RestaurantOwner.com member Misty Young and her husband Gary, used the balance of their savings and cashed in their retirement accounts to purchase the Squeeze In, a 45-seat breakfast café in Truckee, CA. With no restaurant experience, they put it all, and then some, on the line.

Their story, as told by their eldest daughter, Shila, is as heartwarming and inspiring as it is instructive. What they lacked in resources they more than made up for in resourcefulness, hard work and dogged determination.

See how they pulled together as a family to create so much more than "just" a successfully family business.
