Last updated on September 1st, 2023 at 11:47 pm
Meet Fred Corder of Maryland ChickAn
Want to open a restaurant? You don’t need a storefront or even a food truck. Fred Corder, Co-Owner of Maryland ChickAn, and proud Howard University alum, walks us through how #DeepFriedWatermelon does pop ups at night markets and food events in Southeast Asia and the U.S. Fred also talks about:
- Why Black entrepreneurs need to do more business internationally
- The importance of decentralization of business and media and why this is the best time to be a food entrepreneur
- Why pop up restaurants are profitable and don’t have to be a stepping stone to a food truck or physical restaurant
