San Diego, California News Station - KFMB Channel 8 - cbs8.comVista Woman Is Making Real Money Off Of Fake Food
Member Center:
"If they used real food they would be changing it out once a day," Judy said.
Instead of Carrows throwing out thousands of dollars worth of real pies every year, they buy one plastic pie for $125 that lasts forever.
"If it gets dusty all they have to do is rinse it off with soapy water," Judy said.
All of this food may be fake, but leveraging everything Judy owned to buy the company from her boss a year ago was as real as it gets.
"As long as I can keep paying that mortgage, it feels fine," she said.
Her company is called Fax Foods. They paint, and then bake more than 1,000 different types of food that are shipped all over the world. With sales topping $1 million last year, companies like Subway can't get enough of her four-foot sub.
Judy says when you start to get hungry just looking at it, she's done her job.
