Lynda never hoped to have a restaurant
Lynda U., a woman and a devoted mother, moved from Nigeria to the United States and settled in southern California 19 years ago. The kitchen has always been part of his life and, without losing the customs, traditions and love of food, began to serve food to customers while breaking his hair at home. This soon happened to his first company, Lynda’s Hair & Beauty Supply Store, where he would bring home food to his customers. Later, he developed a food truck and finally opened his current lid restaurant. But culinary work was never its initial plan.
“I opened my hair business when I was pregnant with my 17-year-old now and I was wondering what I can do to stay home for income,” Bravity told Bravity. “And it was like a joke at first. I made one of my niece’s hair. When he went to school, everyone began to ask,” Who made their hair? “And I built my clientele like that.”
The hair business grew rapidly, especially considering the small black population in the area.
“Now, we have more than 20 people working here,” Lynda added.
Food Truck worked for five years before opening the location of brick and mortar in November. He realized that the food business was overcoming the hair business later, and now plans to expand the restaurant to include dinner options.
“It will not be a collection place because we think that community people like to sit and eat and talk. So the next will be a safe restaurant,” he said.
Why Lynda says his business thrive
With such a small black population nearby, it could be asked -how Lynda’s companies continue to grow. He said that the support he has received has been welcoming and far.
“It’s very nice. I like the community and I can see that we are well accepted here, which is why we have a lot of patronage of different types of tribes and different types of people,” he said.
