Morgan Community College

This summer, we had the opportunity to visit Genesis Bakery in Evans Colorado and see firsthand how Morgan Community College’s Multicultural Entrepreneur Program has helped support the growth of their business.

Owners Cecilia and Luis Pineda shared how the program has helped strengthen their business operations, improve management practices, and provide greater control over their day-to-day operations.

“One of the biggest challenges we faced in our business before taking the program at MCC was finding a manager who could effectively oversee and control the operations of the business. The program helped us make that decision, and now we have much greater control over production, sales, and everything that comes in and goes out.

Every piece of bread that is lost or wasted is tracked and monitored on a daily basis. Having control of our business and knowing where money is being spent is very important. This program has helped us tremendously by serving as a guide for our business.”

— Cecilia Pineda and Luis Pineda, Owners of Genesis Bakery

Thank you to Cecilia and Luis for welcoming us into their bakery and sharing their story. Their success demonstrates the impact that education, guidance, and community support can have on local businesses.

Este verano tuvimos la oportunidad de visitar Genesis Bakery y conocer de primera mano cómo el Programa de Empresarios Multiculturales de Morgan Community College ha apoyado el crecimiento de su negocio.

“Uno de los mayores retos que teníamos en nuestro negocio antes de tomar el programa en MCC fue contratar a un gerente que tuviera control del negocio. El programa nos ayudó mucho a tomar esa decisión y ahora tenemos un mayor control en todo lo relacionado con la producción, las ventas y todo lo que entra y sale.

Cada pan que se pierde se controla día a día. Tener control en nuestro negocio y saber en qué se está gastando es muy importante. Esto nos ha ayudado mucho y ha servido como una guía para nuestro negocio.”

— Cecilia y Luis Pineda, propietarios de Genesis Bakery
