Image from Lugaw Queen
Who would have thought that your ticket to earning millions
would be a mere lugaw. Surely the Lugaw Queen didn’t think so too. And with
that, they are worthy of our money maker spotlight this week.
For those in the Manila area and nearby region, you better
eat at Lugaw Queen. Sad to say, there’s still no franchise yet back in my
hometown. Perhaps a kind soul would treat me this lugaw when I’m in Manila. Pretty
please?
Before I go begging for someone to treat me, let’s get back
on track. The success of Beverly Aquino (Lugaw Queen) stems with the fact that
they earned as much as 50,000 for one day. Simply imagine how much they are
earning in a month’s time. The said business started out way back in 2007. With
a meager capital of a little over one thousand, she started the business. Funny
thing was the money was supposed to be used to pay the family’s electric bills.
After the business start-up, they rented a small kiosk with three chairs. This
is located in San Pablo Laguna.
So what’s the contributing success of the Lugaw Queen? It is
her mother’s secret recipe. They thought of the ingredients that would make
their lugaw different. Even more they would want to see such business grow.
Their lugaw is so affordable at 10 pesos. And from there everything was history. They were able to save up after three months of operation. They were able to rent a much bigger space for the business. And within a year, they opened 12 branches all over Luzon. The Lugaw Queen until now is even surprised on the amount they were able to get each branch. She even remembered earning 1,300 on their first day, then 2,400 and even 10,000 a day.
Fast forward to the present, their business earns as much as
50,000 worth of lugaw. Such number is still truly unimaginable most especially
to Aquino. After all, they started the business because of their need to
alleviate their family’s present condition. Before, they were just renting
their place without a CR and a kitchen. Aquino even goes to school without
lunch money. She remembered to be frugal that time because she only has
transportation money as a student.
And now, because of that lugaw idea and that 1,100 capital, the
family already have a two storey rest house in San Pablo. They also have
another house in Nuvali.
In the end, the harsh realities of life and poverty are
helping tools for the Lugaw Queen and served as life lessons to her. Now she
couldn’t be happier.
