Kingaroy businesspeople Daniel and Mary Huskisson hosted the Kingaroy Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s March meet’n’greet on Tuesday night at their Utopia Caf\u00e9 in Kingaroy Street.<\/p>\n

Daniel introduced the crowd to the various businesses the couple own – and have started up – in recent years.<\/p>\n

They have been running Utopia successfully for eight years but had less luck with their plans for Husky\u2019s Burgers in the IGA complex in Avoca Street.<\/p>\n

The last time they hosted a KCCI meet’n’greet was five years ago when Husky’s was opening.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, the hamburger business opened just before the COVID-19 pandemic struck.<\/p>\n

The lockdowns and uncertainty proved devastating for many hospitality businesses, including Husky’s.<\/p>\n

Likewise, an ice cream shop the couple started in Kingaroy Shoppingworld also didn’t take off, and both businesses were forced to close.<\/p>\n

But that hasn’t stopped Daniel and Mary’s entrepreneurial spirit.<\/p>\n

Daniel shared his business vision with the audience: “If you have growth, you have chaos. If you have no growth, you have stability”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He said the Utopia Caf\u00e9 was now on the market to allow the pair concentrate on their other businesses: Proclean Property Maintenance and SB Pest Control.<\/p>\n

These two businesses are booming and taking up a lot of time. They were no doing 100 yards and 100 cleans a week.<\/p>\n

Daniel has also just started a new business in partnership with Nathan Hendy, SB Transfer and Hire, which aims to fill a gap in the local market in regards to transport for medical appointments.<\/p>\n
