This case is part of the Indigenous Business Stories Project, a series of freely available cases focusing on Indigenous business. For free access to this case, please use this link: https://sk.sagepub.com/cases/skpromo/XMsp4O/the-story-of-sharon-bond-hogg-and-kekuli-cafe. For more information about this series, please visit https://sk.sagepub.com/cases/series/indigenous-business-stories. Sharon shares her story as an Indigenous entrepreneur who started the business, Kekuli Café, with her husband Darren. She tells about the organization's journey from starting as a small concession stand to offering catering operations and their evolution to becoming a beloved restaurant known for their Indigenous foods and home-style cooking. One of Sharon's unexpectedly rewarding experiences was navigating toward a franchise model that enables her to step back from the business, while realizing her dream of establishing an unprecedented pathway for Indigenous entrepreneurs to follow with the infrastructure and process already carved out by Kekuli. This story highlights the lifelong vision that Sharon nurtured from her early childhood experiences of sharing and preparing food with her family and later recognizing the power of food to provide comfort for others, a sense of community in a British Columbia small town, and how the business provides a good life for her and her family to maintain their culture and pride as Indigenous people.
