Sluuurp, chew, and gulp! Are your taste buds ready to try some new drink flavors offered by a new business in Wichita? From slushes, smoothies, teas, and coffees, Boba Zone, a café like place, offers a variety of flavors to satisfy any thirst. What makes these drinks more unique are the boba and jellies that can be added to any cup.
What is boba? Bobas are small, chewy, tapioca sensations that have been a common scene in many cities especially the west coast. In Wichita, however, they are not as widespread. The owner, of Boba Zone wants to change this. When asked why she wanted to open this place, she simply answered, “I want to introduce boba to Wichita,” Diana Le.
Opening a business, however, has not been easy. Some new business owners work more than full time. Diana Le is not an exception. She is there from opening to closing. Along with training her employees, and maintaining the place, she has piles of paperwork and legal matters that are involved with opening a business. It takes a lot of effort and work into opening a place and a lot more heart to keep it alive.
Along with heart, owners need well…business. A high customer base increases one success rate. Since it is often quoted that a high percent of new businesses fail within the first five years, it is critical that owners be prepared to take on the financial along with the emotional tension of having a business.
Although the fate of Boba Zone is not for certain, it has high hopes and potential. The owner is still new to this field but she is willing to work hard. Her advice to those who are dreaming of owning a business: “Start early and plan way, way, way ahead.”
