They said – your food is good, you are very welcoming. That is when we decided to build a family business. There was a time when we had to add several rooms, we had two and we needed two more, but we didn’t have the funds. We received support from Acba Federation, added a bakery filled with the culture of Tavush, where we now hold master classes, and furnished everything. Thanks to the investments we were able to double our finances”, noted Davit Avetisyan.
