Wednesday, students traveled to meet with Lori Lignoul-Hawthorne and Justin Hawthorne, owners of Seafood Specialties!

Lori and Justin shared their successes and growing pains of purchasing their business, not only during a pandemic, but doing so with their spouse.

Students learned that it’s okay if your dreams and passions change over time. Happiness and growth are forever changing! Being your own boss is a lot of work, but very rewarding and gratifying.

Seafood Specialties is a Frozen Mobile Seafood Market. There is a brick and mortar location in Anna, Illinois, but the mobile market generates three times as much revenue as the store front.

Seafood Specialties is normally stationed at Smokey Joe’s in Pontoon Beach on the last Friday of each month. Make sure though to check out Seafood Specialties social media pages for their full location schedule!

Thank you again, Lori and Justin, for sharing your morning with us! The stuffed full goodie bags and gift cards were also appreciated!
