In this episode, Kerry-Ann sits down with Franklyn Peart to explore what it means to build and scale a brand like <a href=\"https:\/\/juicipattiesusa.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Juici Patties <\/a>with intention and integrity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not just a business story. It is a story about stewardship. Franklyn Peart is a multi-unit franchisee of Juici Patties in the U.S. As he explains, carrying a brand like Juici Patties is not simply about expansion, it is about preserving consistency, quality, and the emotional connection people have with the product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A key theme in this conversation is responsibility. The idea that when you represent a cultural product, you are also representing a people. From employee training to customer experience, Franklyn emphasizes that protecting the integrity of the brand is a daily practice, not just a philosophy. It reflects a broader truth within the Caribbean diaspora, that cultural identity influences how we show up in our work and the standards we uphold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conversation also explores a bigger vision: positioning Caribbean food as a recognized category in the United States. While other cuisines have become normalized, Caribbean food still sits in a space of familiarity without full mainstream integration. Franklyn sees an opportunity not just for growth, but for ownership, ensuring that Caribbean people remain at the center of the culture they created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ultimately, this episode is about more than business. It is about legacy, pride, and the small everyday experiences, like biting into a patty, that keep people connected to home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Juici Patties:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/juicipattiesusa.com\" title=\"\">https:\/\/juicipattiesusa.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:47px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"stay-connected\">Stay Connected<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Connect with @carryonfriends \u2013&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/carryonfriends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a><strong>&nbsp;|&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/carryonfriends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Facebook<\/a><\/strong> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/carryonfriends\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\"><strong>YouTube<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Enjoyed the show?&nbsp; Please remember to&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/1HnDcMv\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>leave a rating and review in Apple Podcasts<\/em><\/a><em>.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>A&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.breadfruit.media\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Breadfruit Media<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;Production:&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/breadfruitmedia\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For many in the Caribbean diaspora, food is more than food, it\u2019s memory, connection, and identity.
