Gen-Z Bakers Achieve Success with Rent-Free Pastry Sales in CBD
Cranki Patisserie's young founders, Laura Lee and Brenan Yeo, have scored a rent-free deal in a prime spot after nearly going broke chasing their pastry dreams.
With high rents in Singapore's F&B scene, selling pastries in the CBD rent-free seemed impossible, but Cranki Patisserie made it happen.
When the 25-year-old pastry chef and her 26-year-old partner realized they didn't have the funds to open their own café, their dreams seemed out of reach.
The pair could run APT’s daytime food operations rent-free, in exchange for a cut of their sales.
The opportunity arose when the owner of A Place To (APT) spotted their ad on Instagram and offered them the deal.
- Cranki Patisserie's pastries have been a fixture on APT's daytime menu since May this year.
- The founders had only "3 digits left" in their bank account before getting the lucky break.
