Kelly's Food Stand opened in July
By PHIL MONSON
On a recent sun-splashed summer day, Kelly Potratz was inside her food stand, quickly dishing up meals for a small line of people waiting outside.
Potratz has only been open for two months but has already developed a clientele.
“I love to cook,” said Potratz, whose food stand is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Her business, Kelly’s Food Stand, is located at the corner of Highway 169 and Wildcat Road, on the same location as her husband’s business, Dean’s Used Cars.
Kelly and Dean Potratz have been married three years. She’s been in Iowa for five years. She was born and raised in Kansas City, KS.
“It’s been nice to be able to do this. Business is picking up. There was a time when I would get upset if no one would show up. Some days would be good and some days wouldn’t be so good. Some of those days were very, very hot and nobody wants to sit outside in the heat and eat,” Potratz said.
