The Meals in a Minute Story
At 15 years old, Yume Tran found her way to the United States, alone, a refugee from Vietnam.
She was educated in the U.S. and built a career in management before deciding to venture out on her own into the Restaurant business.
Like many of us, Yume started out not knowing how to cook, but loving the smells, colors, and ingredients that make up great dishes. Along with her husband Jeff Nghiem, she opened a restaurant in Colorado and discovered that she had the touch - people were standing in the aisles, waiting to eat her meals.
She developed unique, healthy, and delicious sauces that formed the secrets to her gourmet chef recipes. People started asking her to “bottle” those great tastes. And she did! Then, she began selling her sauces and developing additional ones. People started purchasing the sauces,thoroughly enjoying the triumph they experienced at their own home tables when friends and family ate their delicious meals. Yume began selling the sauces in farmers’ markets as well. The result: wild success and repeat orders. But still, Yume knew that her dream of having “a sauce in every pantry in America” would never come to pass with just a few people selling at local markets.
Then she met Mary and Bud Corkin. Mary and Bud had been direct selling "gurus", having been successful in direct sales for over 20 years. Bud had previously been an Assistant Attorney General for Massachusetts and a partner in a major Boston law firm.
Mary had two graduate degrees from Harvard University, one in Business Administration. Their careers in direct selling had taken them all overthe world, building global direct selling organizations.
Mary and Bud were looking for a new and exciting product, one that would support family life and joyful gatherings.Mary and Bud were invited to Yume’s restaurant. They “ooh-ed” and ah-ed” over the extraordinary tastes. They also saw in Yume a brilliant, inventive, dynamic woman.
She saw in them experience, effectiveness and a record of building large, thriving direct selling organizations. At that delicious moment, Meals in a Minute was born.
Today, Meals in a Minute is all about food, fun, family and friends.
