"Thanks for the opportunity!"
Angela recently graduated with a degree in business from WTAMU, and with the help of the SBDC she purchased the Golden Light Cafe and Cantina in December of 2006. The restaurant is a local tradition, and Angela is very sensitive to maintaining her rapport with the clientele. The Cantina has become a popular night spot with an outdoor patio and live entertainment.
