Join us for an inspiring episode of ABFI Table Talk as we sit down with Teresa Spinelli of the Italian Centre Shop. In Episode 8, Teresa shares her remarkable journey of unexpectedly taking over the family business after losing her brother and father and her journey of transforming a single store founded in 1959 into a thriving community enterprise with five locations and 672 employees across Alberta.
In this episode, discover how Teresa navigated the challenging transition from being "the little girl who played cashier" to becoming a respected business leader. She delves into the importance of building authentic community connections, fostering a family-first culture, and maintaining the warmth of a neighbourhood hub while scaling across multiple locations and cities. Teresa shares candid insights about balancing motherhood with business leadership and how her husband has supported the business and became a stay-at-home dad to support her family business.
Whether you're interested in family business dynamics, community-based retail, or leadership transitions, this episode offers valuable lessons on leading with heart while driving growth. Learn from Teresa's experiences on building an inclusive workplace culture, managing succession planning, and staying true to core values while embracing innovation.
Tune in to ABFI Table Talk for a compelling blend of business wisdom and personal reflection, as Teresa shares how she transformed from reluctantly joining the family business to passionately leading an organization that's not just about "selling salami" but about creating community through food, culture, and genuine human connection.
