Against All Odds, SC SBDC Client Shicka Allsbrooks Opens Restaurant in Rural Chesterfield County

Influenced by her grandmother, Shicka Allsbrooks loved cooking and aspired to opening her own restaurant someday. Finally, in 2021, despite being a single mother of four and dependent on welfare, Shicka decided it was time to pursue her dream. “There I was—without a penny to my name, overdue on mortgage payments—making an offer on a space for lease,” said Allsbrooks. Soon after closing the deal, Shicka realized that the site desperately needed renovating. That’s when she contacted Florence Area SBDC consultant Charles Page. With his help, Shicka wrote a business plan, completed a pro forma, conducted market research and received a $40,000 RRF loan, which she used to offset renovation expenses, buy equipment and pay her eight employees.
