About the President:  Karen Wheet
Karen, an entrepeneur by nature, has seen a need for high quality produce and specialty foods in the local area for many years. Her love for Vermont and its country stores has spurred on her desire to bring country, home cooked, specialty food products to Mendon.  While gourmet foods are right up her alley, her husband and four children prefer more family-friendly fare. What better way to satisfy both – create a store that offers gourmet and family-friendly meals!

For over 20 years, Karen has owned and operated Write Words, a secretarial and bookkeeping business. She had also been a General Manager for Power Sources Unlimited, Inc. and OEM Marketing Sales, a distribution firm and rep firm, respectively, for 16 years, until starting The Finest Gourmet. Her background in business management/sales coupled with her high energy level is sure to make The Finest Gourmet a store worth visiting time after time. Come often, to see what Karen will be "cooking up" next....
