Project Description
Laxmi Kafley came to the US as a refugee from Bhutan in 2009. He is a serial entrepreneur, running businesses both in his home country and now in the US. Laxmi owns and operates Laxmi Foods, along with his wife and two sons. Laxmi Foods is a well-known ethnic grocery store among the Nepalese and Bhutanese community in Aurora and Denver. The store offers a wide variety of Indian and Nepalese products, including sweets, snacks, fruits and vegetables, and frozen foods. They also have a wide selection of Hindu religious items for pooja worship, and many Indian grocery stores in the area refer their clients to Laxmi for these items.
Laxmi Foods had their most successful year to date in 2020. Mr. Kafley came to CEDS Finance for a loan to restock essential inventory, as well as to buy Hindu worship items he needed from a contact in Nepal. With in-person get-togethers and religious celebrations returning, Laxmi hopes that 2021 and 2022 will continue to be successful years for the business.
