Muddy’s Bake Shop ‘Leaps’ forward again — but with a step back
“I think people treat small businesses as if we’re puppies,” said Muddy’s Bake Shop owner Kat Gordon. “We act like, OK, you’re a puppy and you’re gonna grow into a big dog and it’s like, well, some puppies grow up into small dogs.” (Mark Weber/The Daily Memphian)
On her business’ fourth Leap Day, Muddy’s owner Kat Gordon doesn’t turn to entities that have expanded broadly for inspiration but instead looks to those businesses that have dug deep roots.
