An IntroductionMy name is Owen MacNutt. I am the founder
of BOX LUNCH¨ and Sandwich Specialists, Inc., the Franchiser. My wife Kathryn and I still
own and operate the original location in Wellfleet, Massachusetts, where we maintain
corporate offices for the Franchises in addition to a very busy year- round BOX LUNCH¨
Location. We have tried over the years to make BOX LUNCH the best place to eat in the
area, and we have succeeded beyond all reasonable expectations.
In my previous life, I enjoyed eight years of teaching experiences at the elementary
and secondary level, working in government (Navajo Indian), public and private schools
from Northern Arizona to Massachusetts. Kathy has always been in the food business,
beginning with her childhood as one of six children.
I started the first BOX LUNCH Restaurant in the spring of 1977, as a seasonal business
during the traditional school summer break. Little did I know what awaited me. Our
beginnings were humble, with growing community support as people "discovered"
us. We became increasingly successful as customers became "fans" who then became
promoters.
When the business proved successful in its first year,
I gave the BOX LUNCH my undivided attention. We have devoted our full time and attention
to the business ever since, together overseeing the Wellfleet location until Kathy
completely took over "that end of the building." I now manage the franchising,
assist in the opening of new locations and market test new Rollwiches¨.
Kathy and I wish for you the same pleasure we have derived from nurturing an idea into
a successful venture. It is hard work; it is all-consuming at times. Usually fun, it is
always an adventure.
