I met & connected with JP through social media and multiple friends. He bought 3Natives awhile back from a friend of mine and decided that the food and restaurant business was his end all goal. He spent some time working a 9-5 and never felt fulfilled feeing awful and watching "miserable" looking people come in and out of the bank he worked for.\\xa0

JP is a people person and as a local South Florida guy has always enjoyed being and communicating with the community. Upon leaving the "rat race" he linked up with a local kitchen and started slinging sandwiches, smoothies and other easy on the go items. He would frequent many eateries and one day approached the owner of 3natives on a more serious note and said he wanted to open a 3natives franchise. Although he received many challenges and some opposition to opening a restaurant from his family and friends he moved forward and followed his dream.

He partnered with a long time childhood friend and they began their journey into opening up one franchise. He spent months learning the business, what works and\\xa0 what doesn't is all about the people you surround yourself with. "I am nothing without my team" says JP and as a former collegiate athlete, he understands the importance of working together, communicating and having systems in place. His goal is to open more franchises and grow the 3natives brand to multiple locations. He has his accountability group, a strong family connection and bond that are also joining in on the franchise. His message is clear...........Stay stoked on life and find something that fires you up every day. You can visit his store on Yamato or check him out on instagram @jpcaruso9 or @3natives. Enjoy the show and have a most triumphant day!
