Franchise interview with Gigi Butler of Gigi's cupcakes
We have a great show today. We are meeting with Gigi Butler, the founder of Gigi's Cupcakes. People across the country know Gigi from her "Undercover Boss" appearance on CBS, and her journey is the American Dream come true.
Soon after opening, Gigi's Cupcakes became a Nashville delicacy dessert of choice. Now, nine years later, it has expanded to more than 100 locations across 24 states...making Gigi's the largest cupcake franchise in the country!
Moving to Nashville in 1994 from California to pursue a career in music at 15 years old, Gigi supported her dream by cleaning houses during the day and singing in honky tonks at night. While she loved music, she also had a passion for baking. As the years passed, she decided to take a chance on her cooking talents instead of her voice.
