YEA! students, as a class, visit area businesses, meet succhttps://pensacolachamber-fe8.kxcdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/100813_First_Class-045_.jpgessful entrepreneurs, meet with professionals (attorneys, accountants, bankers, graphic designers, web developers, insurance providers, etc.), develop a business or social movement idea and plan, and work with mentors.

Cierra Moore / Coterie Beads
CEO

 

Coterie Beads is a female owned, sole proprietorship that imports and sells, beautiful, unique, affordable women’s jewelry, from 5 countries.  My name is Ceirra Moore and I’m the 11 year old CEO of Coterie Beads.  I began my business because, like a lot of ladies, one day my mind just told me to by a  piece of jewelry.   Sadly, most of the jewelry in my local area was either, typical and kind of boring, above my price range or completely fake.  I knew there had to be a solution and importing and selling my own jewelry was it.  Through a 30 week Young Entrepreneurs Academy Program, I learned the skills and received the funding necessary to do just that.  Like the YEA motto said, I began as a student and finished as a CEO!

Tony’s Tejas Salsa is an all-natural fresh premium salsa & marinade, which is low in sodium, has  no added sugar and has a bold vibrant flavor.  It was invented 10 years ago to be a salad dressing for a chicken fajita salad off of the “Tj’s Eat Like We Eat” restaurant concept menu.  Blended fresh and kept refrigerated, Tony’s Tejas Salsa is made of the highest quality ingredients. Roma tomatoes for their rich robust flavor. Fresh purple onions, cilantro and garlic to enrich our salsa with antioxidants. Yellow bell peppers for a smooth flavor with a natural sweetness. A combination of 5 chilies that gives your pallet a burst of southwestern kick. Last but not least a blend of healthy spices swirled into the mix, making it the world’s best salsa. Just ask the folks who eat it. Tony’s Tejas Salsa has three flavors. Original; a full zesty flavor with a little kick at the end. Caliente; tongue pleasing heat from beginning to end with Habanero and serrano peppers added. Beverley Ann’s Mild Blend; a smooth tangy mix with no heat, but with an enough chilies to be authentic Texas salsa.

Once upon a time, two guys who had never met, had a glass of beer.
Who knew that years later, their love of beer would bring them together.

Elliott Eckland and Mark Robertson started this journey in 2009, and in October 2010 opened the doors of the Pensacola Bay Brewery. Focusing on local Pensacola landmarks and lore, the Pensacola Bay Brewery mixes a little Florida history in each pint.

New York Nick’s

 

New York Nick’s in Downtown Pensacola was recently named “The Best Sports Bar in Pensacola.” It’s no surprise, since the walls are literally inundated with 40 high-definition flat-screen TVs playing anything from water polo to hockey. They also have every sports package known to man, so if you’re not into football you can find something. Rhythmic gymnastics anyone?
But, ribbon dancing aside; during the Super Bowl I can imagine no better place in town to watch the game. Pensacola is located a mere three hours away from New Orleans and so, it seems, the locals have a soft spot for The Saints. My boyfriend, a native of Louisiana, was at first perplexed by Pensacola’s unabashed support of another state’s NFL team. But who are we going to cheer for? Jacksonville located on the other side of the state? Pass.
So New York Nick’s will undoubtedly be filled as the Saints (and pardon this pun) go marching into the Super Bowl (Ba Dum Ching!). And while there are plenty of franchises that cater to the sports crowd in Pensacola, nothing beats this one-of-a-kind place. Great bar specials all day long and an extensive menu keep this place busy, even during the off-season. They’re famous for their char-grilled wings but there burgers are amazing too. Try the “Best Damn Buffalo Chicken Sandwich Period” or the “Shaved Prime Rib Sandwich” if you want to switch it up a little. They even offer a children’s menu and all the usual bar fare favorites; cheesy fries, onion rings and nachos. Get here early on game day to stake out your table and be prepared to stay for the long haul. But I promise you, you won’t go hungry.”
