Robert Hagopian – Bellacino’s Pizza and Grinders – Harrisburg, NC
Tell me about your background.
I went to school for refrigeration and worked for a guy for about 13 years. Then I went to work on my own for about 12 years. Before I move to NC from New Hampshire I ran a restaurant equipment service business for 12 years. We did equipment sales, installation and service. We also did some auctioneering as well. It started to grow too big and I got out of that business before it killed me. We had a 19000 sq ft warehouse and it kept growing and growing and I kept working on call at nights and on weekends. I came to North Carolina to take some time off and then I started this business.
