Cooking Up a Sense of Discovery
Tammy Herr owns and operates Flour Power Cooking Studios Cary Parkside and Holly Springs, North Carolina, alongside her husband and son. Ever since launching the Cary location in 2016, she’s been whipping up blissful culinary adventures for all ages and enjoying every minute of it.
“I love the customers – children and adults,” said Herr, a former IBM executive. “I love meeting people and learning about their lives and what brought them to Flour Power.”
What typically brings in customers is an appreciation of cooking and excitement for shared experiences. Flour Power Cooking Studios offers classes, camps, birthday parties, kids’ night outs, family events, corporate team-building events and even adult sip-and-stirs. The objective of the brand is to cook up a sense of belonging and discovery while impacting communities in a warm and cheerful environment.
As the brand expands across the U.S., gains momentum and capitalizes on corporate support and over 25 years of leadership vision, now is the perfect time for everyone to show off their Flour Power.
Here’s a glimpse inside a typical day for a Flour Power franchisee:
7:45 a.m. Upon waking up, Herr greets and feeds her ravenous pups. Next, it’s coffee time for the family before getting ready and heading out for the studio.
9 a.m. Herr begins running her scheduled camps for the day. She greets customers as they arrive and chats with parents dropping off their children. She also jumps in to assist campers, answers phone calls and replies to emails.
On days without camp, Herr sets about shopping for supplies for booked functions. She’ll drop off groceries, take calls and prep the studio as needed.
2 p.m. Herr assists with snack time if camp is in progress. She may also be busy working on upcoming events and planning her calendar if camp is not in progress.
5 p.m. It’s time for Herr to head home to make dinner, walk the dogs and enjoy the remainder of the evening.
