Swapneet Ranike – Owner/Operator, Boston Pizza in Uxbridge and North Whitby: |
I am a new immigrant, well not that new we came into this beautiful part of the world in
2017. With so many dreams in my eyes and a desire to accomplish myself. I come with
over 13 years hospitality industry experience. Great hospitality is in my blood because of
the country I belong to, India.
Starting my journey with an airline then Luxury hotels and finally living my dream of being a
Mompreneur. My 2 young girls are my source of motivation. When everyone told me with 2
young kids, I can't achieve my dreams, I told them to wait and watch how it's done.
Apart from running my restaurants, I am also a mentor for new immigrants and I work
closely with the community for various fundraisers.
I believe there is nothing more beautiful than an independent, powerful and loving woman.
