Alicia Haddad has spent the last six years growing her self-funded company, much like her goods, from scratch.
In that time, she’s received a multitude of eye-catching certifications and awards, including being designated as a nationally and state-certified women business enterprise, certified Kosher products manufacturer, certified vegan products manufacturer, and certified GFCO products through the Gluten-Free Certification Organization. She was named Entrepreneur of the Year for 2020 by the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, no small feat for someone in business only since 2015. Originally having learned how to blend spices and make rubs from her grandmother, she spends time helping to teach and mentor other young entrepreneurs, donating to a variety of Central Mass. organizations and serving as a speaker for business classes at Clark University and MassBay Community College. An inspiration to those around her, Haddad is most proud of being both self-made and running a woman-owned manufacturing company focusing on producing wholesome, allergen-friendly food products.
What world record would you like to have? Most free meals given to underprivileged children in a single day on a national scale, perhaps worldwide!
Favorite Central Mass. restaurant? My most cherished memories will always be of the El Morocco Restaurant on Wall Street in Worcester! From the beautiful sounds of jazz flowing through the trumpet of my grandfather, Emil Haddad, to the immeasurable list of Hollywood stars, no restaurant has been able to capture the ambiance, culture and exquisite Lebanese cuisine the same.
Sooooo proud of Alicia !!!! She is proof that a vision/dream can become a reality if you persevere !!!! Congratulations Alicia !!!??????
