Women of 280: Holley Sides - Doorstepdelivery.com

Holley Sides and her husband, George Sides, dreamed of opening their own business together. When they were living in Florida, they discovered DoorstepDelivery.com and loved the service and the food. It was a perfect fit for them to open a franchise. 

“We knew we wanted to move back to Birmingham -— we just did not know what we wanted to do when we moved back from Florida. During our residency in Florida, we found a great service DoorstepDelivery.com. We ordered from this service over 60 times in one year! One night after we ordered we saw a link on the site for franchise opportunities. The next day, my husband called and here we are today offering great food to the great people of Birmingham!” Sides said.

The couple, who met in Birmingham, was ready to come back to their “adopted hometown.” 

“We fell in love with Birmingham and each other at the same time. My love for my husband and the love for our great city are both the inspiration behind my desire to be an entrepreneur,” Sides said.

Together, they have created a thriving business in a thriving community. 

“In our business, my husband and I are responsible for everything. You cannot delegate the small things to someone else and you cannot take a vacation day or sick day. No matter the challenges I face, I always feel I can find a way to overcome that challenge and be a better person because of it!”
