Morgan Hipworth from a young age wanted to have his own restaurant. He said at the age of 7 was his first thought of this. In his younger years he would make what menu cards and bake cakes for the people around him. His mindset was if the people on tv can do it why can’t I. Then it became more and more serious at the age of 11 he was making 10 cakes a week for birthdays or special occasions just so people could try his food and give him feedback. At a cafe when day with his family Morgan received his first opportunity to monetize his cooking skills. They got talking to the owners and they realized his knowledge of food. They said they were looking for a new cake supplier at the time and asked if Morgan would send in a few for them to sell. At the age of 13 he ended up being their full-time cake supplier, taking orders of $100 to even $300. Then he realized if he was ever going to make it, he would need his own restaurant, in his case a bakery.
The first thing he invested in was a pop-up shop at 15 for 8 days where he sold over 10,000 doughnuts. He used the earnings to buy wanted he really wanted, his own shop. Morgan now has 20 employees at the age of 19 and supplies 20 different cafes with donuts. He turns over half a million dollars a year. I think he is such a good example of someone doing something they are passionate about and really bringing good to the world from that. We need more people like Morgan Hipworth in this world.
I think it is pretty cool that He found and followed through on his passion at such a young. I also think it is cool that a restaurant trusted a 13-year-old to supply them with his baked goods allowing him to really start to get serious with his business.
