Navigating marriage, business ownership in rural Nebraska | Embers Bakery & Cafe

Running a business is hard. Running a business with your spouse is harder.

But Andrew and Alix Ambriz - owners of Embers Bakery & Cafe in McCook, Nebraska – are navigating marriage and parenthood while providing their community with a place to gather. Pretty cool, right?

But how does a bakery and cafe in rural southwest Nebraska continue to hand-source its baked goods and find staff to keep its doors open?

On this week’s episode of Building Nebraska, Andrew shares about the logistics of running the business, how much flour they go through in a year, and the “why” behind it all.
