Enron Refugee Trades Corporate Houston for Small Business Bliss at Beaver’s Café Kolache from Imagine Pittsburgh
"Kristi Harper is rolling [in the] dough at Café Kolache, a charming bakery and eatery on Third Street in equally charming downtown Beaver, Pa. For her, owning the bakery is a sweet dream – one that began playing out in her head about a decade ago when she was living and working in Houston, Texas. On her first day of work at Enron – the energy, commodities and services giant (which ended up in bankruptcy in December 2001) – Harper made her acquaintance with kolaches when a colleague brought in a plate of the doughy Czech delicacies to share. It was love at first bite."
