A Tennessee bakery run by 32 special needs adults is seeing some sweet success after their story that aired on FOX 17 News has gone viral.
Sweet Jordan's Bakery and Cafe in Paris opened just 17 months ago, but with their sweet staff and a lot of faith - the eatery has already doubled in size and opened up a coffee shop.
FOX 17 News' Dennis Ferrier traveled to Paris to show what a truly remarkable place Sweet Jordan's is.
Sweet Jordan himself works at the register, but that's not his job.
"I'm the boss around here and I have to keep everybody in line," said Jordan St. John. "Sometimes I'm the boss. I am also the Sheriff and the County Commissioner."
Jordan's parents, Brad and Tommie St. John, opened the bakery just 17 months ago. A middle-aged couple with no experience in retail, but lots of experience with faith.
The bakery received an outpouring of support after the story went viral online and is now opening on its day off so people from out of town can come visit before the holiday.
On Sunday, Dec. 23, instead of getting ready for Christmas, Sweet Jordan's will be opening up its doors on its day off.
So stop by for a smile from 12 p.m. to 8 p.m. this Sunday at 849 Volunteer Dr Suite 1, Paris, TN 38242.
There may not be many job opportunities for special needs adults in a town of 10,000 people. But there's enough heart in Paris to more than support this business.
And who can resist sweets, or the even sweeter staff?
"I say it’s the happiest place in Paris," said Jordan's mom, Tommie St. John. " I say if you are having a bad day, it is turned completely upside down."
