This week on The Upswing, WTMJ’s Jeff Sherman sits down with two family-owned food businesses from southeastern Wisconsin — and the similarities in their journeys stand out. First, John and Maria Ranieri of Sheboygan Pasty Company share how they grew their business out of a family bar during the pandemic, built key distribution partnerships, and continue to expand with new products. Then, Hannah and Tami Kopplin of Tots on the Street talk about building a mother-daughter business focused on scratch-made, locally sourced food and growing their reach through partnerships across the region. It’s a conversation about entrepreneurship, family, and the power of supporting local.
