Waitress Works Her Way Up to Successful Restaurant Franchise Owner
Jessica Yescas adheres to the belief that “success often comes to those who have the aptitude to see way down the road.”
That philosophy compelled Yescas and husband Enrique to each work two jobs for years until they saved enough money to buy the Pier 49 Pizza franchise in Murray. And it has enabled her to take that restaurant, which was struggling just last March, and make it profitable within months.
The Latin American Chamber of Commerce, which conducts some of its monthly meetings at the restaurant, took note of her achievement in September, presenting its Entrepreneur Award to Yescas.
“It was a surprise,” said Yescas, president of Yescas Corp., owner of the Pier 49 franchises in Herriman and Murray and a mother of three, originally from Veracruz, Mexico. “Twelve years of hard work are paying off.”
