LOUISVILLE, Ky. It wasn’t easy for Nichelle Thurston to save $20,000.
She was working as a front desk clerk at the Louisville Water Co., raising four kids with her husband and attending nursing school. But she was also saving money, and diligently so. After a few years, she had enough to buy a food truck.
She created her own website, paid a local artist to design a logo, and, with three employees, began operation as The Seafood Lady.
It took off. Within six months, she had a brick-and-mortar restaurant, and today, she and her husband, Luke, operate three establishments.
