Catherine Robillard is proof that determination is the key to achieving your dreams. At age 25, she became the owner and manager of a “Toujours Mikes” franchise in Brossard.
The young woman has been working there for six years. Being a waitress and manager over the years has allowed her to see her passion for catering grow. “I realized that I am passionate about customer service. The more management tasks I was entrusted with, the more I hung on to catering,” she mentioned, in an interview on the Quebec Matin program.
Previously a student in education, Catherine realized that the two professions complement each other. “It’s the contact with people that fascinates me. I had it with young people, and now I find it with my clients, ”she said.
For those around him, the fact that Catherine is the owner of a “Toujours Mikes” at such a young age is not a surprise. “There were a lot of customers who said to me: ‘you should buy the restaurant here'” and finally, I’m the owner! “, she launched with a big smile.
However, Catherine Robillard is aware that being a homeowner is not always easy, but she considers herself lucky to have loved ones who encourage and support her in her dreams.
The young restaurateur is thinking big: if she says she is still learning with her acquisition of Brossard, she nevertheless plans to buy other Mikes in the future.
