Gadsden Olive Oil Store Award Winner Took a Leap of Faith
A little more than three years ago, non-profit and education manager, Tena King took a chance and opened an extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar shop on Broad Street in historic downtown Gadsden in northeast Alabama.
King became interested in extra virgin olive oil and its health benefits while researching the best care and treatment for her mother after a liver transplant. It struck her that her interest in her mother’s treatment would be a good business model, especially since King’s interest is in helping people. So she opened King’s Olive Oil as a tasting shop in October 2013.
Today, King’s Olive Oil Co. at 618 Broad St. that was started by King and her husband, TC Morgan, sells premium extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegars locally and by mail-order to a growing customer base around the country.
Last month, King’s Olive Oil Co. was named an “Alabama’s Small Business of the Year” in the small business category of between one and 10 employees by the Business Council of Alabama and the Chamber of Commerce Association of Alabama. The award sponsored by the Birmingham Business Alliance was presented at the BCA-CCAA Partnership annual meeting in Birmingham last month.
