RICHMOND, Va. -- Looking to sweeten their routines, two friends have taken over a local milkshake shop with locations in Tuckahoe and Bon Air.
Carrie Walker and Laura Hinkle bought Coco + Hazel last month.
Walker, the owner of Richmond Creative Counseling, and Hinkle, who works at Capital One, have known each other for about a decade. Walker said they were both interested in taking on a new venture on the side and found a business-for-sale listing that turned out to be Coco + Hazel.
“This June I was at the beach and we were texting about how it would be fun to do something on the side that has nothing to do with health care or anything we’re currently doing,” Walker said.
