✨ FRENCH TOAST HEAVEN NORWOOD IS OFFICIALLY OPEN! ✨
I want to take a massive moment to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation for all of the support over our Soft Opening launch. The incredible amount of love and support for French Toast Heaven has been absolutely amazing.
This company has had its fair share of ups and downs. As the Owner and Founder, I have had to learn how to deal with public failure. Even a post like this will result in several people attacking me and making light of our struggles. But I have always tried to be 100% transparent about our company, and I truly hope our story helps encourage other entrepreneurs to keep going and to never give up. If you fail, get up and try again!
This past weekend showed me exactly why I keep going and why giving up is never an option. Several times over the past five days, I became so emotional that I had to step away to avoid people seeing me tear up.
The amount of customers who told me they had been waiting on us to reopen, the sheer number of hugs, and the people actually stopping to pray for me and this company really touched my heart.
I want to personally say Thank You to:
Our Incredible Customers who showed up and packed the house.
Our Dedicated Staff who worked extremely hard to make this weekend a success.
The City of Norwood and all the great people who helped us along this journey.
A Special Thank You to My Family:
My Parents (Kendall and Carmella): For always having my back and being there for me no matter what. My siblings for always supporting me and having my back
My Children: You guys are my ultimate motivation and the exact reason I can’t give up.
My Beautiful Wife & Partner in Life (Kindra): Your strength helped carry me through this tough time in my life. You prayed for me and pushed me to never give up. I love you so much.
The Future of FTH:
French Toast Heaven Norwood literally wouldn’t be here without my new business partner and friend, DJ Wischmeyer, and his lovely wife, April. This man stood side-by-side with me every single step of the way. He literally did all the heavy lifting on the building—from running camera wires to installing the ice machine and replacing the sinks, I can’t even list all the things he did!
I’ve spent more time with DJ than anyone else over the past 12 weeks. I’ve never had anyone invest into my life the way he has. Because of him and his family, DJ and April have provided the stability and resources our brand needs to truly put us on the road to longevity and finally give us staying power!
Last, and certainly not least, I want to Thank God for everything He has done for me and my family.
With Love,
Kevin “Chef Maurice” Jordan
Owner / Executive Chef
