Nally Chidester utilized the services of the Business Resource Center when opening her new restaurant, Simply Thai. Nally loved to cook, especially the recipes her grandmother had taught her as a girl. She had long dreamed of opening her own restaurant. A native of Thailand, Nally waited till her youngest child had finished high school before starting on her dream. Nally spent nearly a year working with the Business Resource Center and Zions Bank Women’s Financial Group on her business plan, market research, and small business loan. In January, Nally opened her restaurant in Sandy (37 West and 10600 South). Featuring traditional Thai cuisine and specializing in several curry entrees, Simply Thai is already doing brisk business and exceeding sales projections.
