Nickoy Haughton of Fayetteville has announced that the grand opening of 876 Flavaz will take place at 1 p.m. on June 19 in front of 6243 Yadkin Road, No. 103 in Fayetteville.
Born and raised in Montego Bay, Jamaica, Haughton migrated to the United States at age 17 to pursue a bachelor’s degree in supply chain management.
Haughton was quickly inspired to start his own business combining his passion for business operations and love for authentic Jamaican cuisine.
Haughton started to consult with the Women’s Business Center of Fayetteville to help turn this vision into reality. He met with business consultant Sara Marada-Kanady from start to finish.
“He worked incredibly hard creating his business plan. As soon as he was ready to apply for his first business loan CEED was happy to assist him,” said Marada-Kanady.
His new business venture “876 Flavaz” derives from the area code of the beautiful island of Jamaica and the unique flavors of spices and herbs that make up his authentic Jamaican dishes. 876 FLAVAZ is dedicated to providing mouth-watering, home-cooked meals for residents in and around the Fort Bragg/ Fayetteville area.
The Women’s Business Center of Fayetteville at CEED provides small business economic development in North Carolina, through business services for start-up businesses and expansion of established women-owned small businesses especially for socially and economically disadvantaged women-owned firms.
