MOST OF OUR EARLY memories start at about the age of 6, with some little snippets of vague recollections from even younger here and there.
Six Topeka business leaders came together in 2018 to celebrate the entrepreneurial spirit in Topeka by creating Top Tank, a competition where local entrepreneurs presented ideas for new business in downtown Topeka.
Lee Hanner launched Confectionary Disasters from her home kitchen 12 years ago.
Hannah knew the minute she heard about the Top Tank contest that she was going to enter her business concept into the competition.
Allison Bugg entered the Top Tank contest as a way to seize upon an opportunity to be a part of something in downtown Topeka that would also benefit other aspiring entrepreneurs.
Abby Engler has always loved fashion. She decided to enter the Top Tank contest because she believes that you should be the change you want to see.
Top Tank contestants Heather DiDomenico Graves, Pedro Concepcion, Allyson Shove- Chard and Jeremy Chard combined their individual business concepts into the Tipsy Carrot, a coffee, juice and ice cream bar now open in NOTO.
George Kearse has been cooking up fabulous food for most of his life. Owner of his own catering business, G’s Catering for the past 17 years, he jumped at the chance to expand his business by entering the Top Tank contest last year.
Three ambitious young entrepreneurs hoped to open a coffee shop that would provide coffee, community and interpersonal communication skills.
Austin Wright entered Top Tank with the hopes of opening a downtown store in a larger warehouse- style space.
