Listen to interview with host Eric Dye & guest Kim Haines discuss the following:
- Tell me about the history of Portland Style Cheesecake & Dessert Co. I understand you started originally out of a home kitchen, is that correct?
- What’s the significance behind your name/brand: Portland “Style” cheesecakes and desserts?
- What has had the biggest impact on growing your business?
- Any specific challenges as a female business owner?
- What are the major differences between your products and your competition?
- Do you have any major plans or goals to accomplish in the new year?
Kim Haines started the Portland Style Cheesecake & Dessert Co. nearly 27 years ago from her kitchen. She moved to the current 2,500-square-foot SE Portland location in 1996. Haines added cakes, bars and brownies to the menu of products six years ago. Now at age 61, she credits a key business move to diversifying to other desserts such as three sizes of cake. The woman-owned, private business has seven full-time employees that are offered a living wage, paid vacation and health benefits. Haines takes pride in her “extended family” – all of which have worked for her for at least 15 years. For more information, call (503) 235-1415 or visit www.pscheesecake.com.
