✨ Women Who Mean Business Wednesday ✨
Spotlight: Carmen Vargas - La Cocina Supply
This week’s feature is extra special, because it’s not just about business, it’s about growth, trust, and coming full circle 💛
Meet Carmen someone who started as an intern and has grown into a key part of what keeps our business running behind the scenes.
From the very beginning, Carmen showed drive, creativity, and a willingness to jump in wherever needed. Today, she’s built something of her own and let me tell you… without her and what she provides, Sips wouldn’t run the way it does.
The reality?
No cups. No straws. No serving essentials.
👉 No smooth operation.
Carmen has become my main source for the items that keep us serving customers day in and day out, and that kind of reliability is priceless when you’re running a business.
What makes Carmen stand out:
✔️ She turned opportunity into ownership
✔️ She understands firsthand what businesses actually need
✔️ She shows up consistently with products we depend on
✔️ She’s proof that investing in people comes full circle in the best way
Watching her step into her own and become someone I now rely on as a business owner has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey.
Carmen — I am so proud of you. From intern to entrepreneur, you absolutely embody what Women Who Mean Business is all about
