What’s the recipe for business success? For Gabrieau’s Bistro in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, it involves more than turning a profit. Owners Karen and Mark Gabrieau add entrepreneurial zest, mix in staff mentorship and concern for the environment, then top it off with heaps of community involvement.
Their accomplishments have been recognized with many awards and acknowledgments. Gabrieau’s Bistro won a 2008 Maritime Business Ethics Award (16-50 employees category) from the Better Business Bureau of the Maritime Provinces.
The Gabrieaus are a husband and wife team. “I’m the visionary and Karen’s the structure,” Gabrieau says. “If I open a new business, that’s my excitement, that’s what motivates me. But she’s the person who runs it after the fact.”
