They bought the business and then went to work to retire the debt. Then, they built this business beyond everyone's wildest expectations. Calise & Sons Bakery now serve most of New England, New York and Pennsylvania and increasingly they'll be serving the world.

So what are you waiting for? Do you have that special genius?*
