Andrew & Syd - Fit Food Express: From part time to owning the whole building

One of my favorite couples and stories straight out of Delray Beach. Fit Food Express is nestled in Delray Beach and run by a stellar couple Andrew Arnold and Syd Breiding. They are an incredible couple that met while both working as employees at Fit Foods and became even closer as they lasted through the challenges. The challenges of changing locations, the sale from original owner, multiple people working in and outside the business and the trials and tribulations of being in the highly scrutinized food and meal prep business.Andrew moved down here to get his life in order and began working part time as a chef and operations employee for fit foods. He was dedicated to making delicious food, delivering quality customer service and maintaining his sobriety. Through the years employees came and went and Syd entered the picture. What started as a co working experience turned into a great friendship and closeness that eventually led to them going on a date and cementing their relationship. When the original owner decided to retire and move, Andrew and Syd saw the opportunity to take over and grow the business. Due to the challenges of commercial real estate in Delray Beach, there was an opening not to far away from the original location. They jumped on it and turned a dilapidated old building into a sleek, fast causal, relaxing space and reopened with a new and improved look. Everything worth doing takes time, patience, effort, communication and knowing what you excel at. Syd opens the store every morning and welcomes the community with her warm smile and quiet demeanor. They have build relationships with the people who have been frequenting Fit Foods for years and say its like having a great big family. They are the prime example of following your heart, dreams and putting in a massive ton of effort. I hope you enjoy the show and if you haven't been by to try their food then I suggest you do. You'll feel right at home. They have many more plans to host fun events, try new food items and really encourage healthy quality food for the Delray Beach community. You can visit them at 333 NE 3rd ave and also follow along on instagram at @fitfoodexpressdelray. Enjoy!
