Sheesh! Oops, I mean Good Golly! (Was that the cheesiest thing you’ve ever read?) That’s what we are talking about today! If you’ve tried the new Good Golly snack joint, you know just how fun of an environment it is. It’s even more fun knowing where all the ideas originated–from the food to the atmosphere. You’re gonna want to hear about the vision that went into this place and the nostalgia that Josh and his wife Katie hope to share with their Kent customers.

In this episode, Josh mentioned a few different Kent businesses including Each + Every , Bent Tree Coffee Roasters and Daisy Pops. Guess what! We have episodes about all of those businesses! Check our library of episodes on the Main Street Kent website to listen to those stories.
