Building a Family Business!

When Bee Vines arrived in Texas from Singapore more than twenty years ago working for Exxon she could not have known she would one day own not one, but two bakery-café’s selling the wildly popular Czech treat - kolaches!

After staying at home for 10 years to raise her three boys, she needed to get back into the workforce and had trouble finding a good fit for the lifestyle she wanted to have with her children. In fact, she says it was her kids who inspired her to open her first Kolache Factory three years ago.

“My kids loved Kolache Factory and we would always go there for an after-school snack. I tried it and loved it too, and decided maybe I should open one myself, so I did!” exclaimed Vines. “This is the best of both worlds for me. I still get to spend time with my boys but also build a business of my own. We were able to be successful with our first store through the pandemic and we are just so excited to open the second store!”

Vines’ oldest son already works at the store and the boys hope one day to run and own the stores themselves.

Kolache Factory Chief Operating Officer Dawn Nielsen says Vines is a great fit for the family business her parents founded 40 years ago this year.

“Bee not only embraces our family-friendly atmosphere, but she is also a savvy businesswoman who shows great hospitality to her customers and employees. She is a great ambassador for the brand, and we are thrilled she is opening a second store with the Kolache Factory,” said Nielsen.

The Missouri City store is the 58th Kolache Factory store for the Katy-based national franchise.

About the Kolache Factory

Kolache Factory was founded in 1982 in Houston, Texas, by John and Jerri Banks, who identified a need for a fresh, high-quality breakfast that could be eaten “on the run.” The Bankses encouraged consumers to try the high-quality, fresh pastries filled with fruits, meat and cheeses, and soon they were in high demand for business meetings, family breakfasts, on-the-go lunches and afternoon snacks. Kolache Factory has been recognized as one of the Top 5 Drive-Thrus in America by Food Network, one of the fastest-growing companies in Houston, and one of the top 50 foodservice bakeries in the United States by Modern Baking magazine. In addition, Entrepreneur magazine named it among the top 200+ food-based franchises in 2021 and the #1 Baked Goods franchise in 2022. Kolache Factory is privately owned and operated and headquartered in Katy, Texas. For more information, please visit https://kolachefactory.com/
