The
Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce is proud to recognize Sweet Lou’s as December’s
Business of the Month. After opening their first location in Hope in April 2011,
they have loved being a part of our community and give back in numerous ways. In
February of 2012, Sweet Lou’s in Ponderay is now their year round location with
the same great menu and standards as their Hope location but with a family
sports-bar angle.
“At
Sweet Lou’s, I make great food and excellent customer service our top
priorities,” explained owner Chad Foust. He added, “During training, I stress
to my employees the importance of a satisfied customer, not only with their
meal, but their entire experience while in the restaurant.”
They
realize the importance of giving back to the community that has given them the
opportunity to live out their dream as business owners. While they wish they
could give to all organizations, they are strategic in their philanthropic efforts.
We focus our giving efforts on local children, public education, cancer
services, youth sports and the Panhandle Animal Shelter. A few of the organizations
they support to include the Long Bridge Swim, 24 Hours for Hank, local sport
teams, Hope Memorial Center, Relay For Life, Bulldog Bench, Susan G. Komen
Foundation, EXCEL Foundation, The Festival of Trees, SHS Grad Night and
Kinderhaven.
“We
are reminded daily with how blessed we are to live and work in beautiful
Sandpoint, ID,” added Chad. “Our town has provided us with great business
opportunities, but more important, it has provided us with a home and a
lifestyle that can be based around family and we are eternally grateful.”
