Niche Store in Winter Haven Indulges Customers’ Tastes for Artisan Cheese
Winter Haven, FL – An imitation of one Winter Haven woman’s favorite New York City cheese shops is Polk County’s first standalone cheese shop.
Sherry Summers, 46, and her husband, Michael, opened the rustic shop with modern touches in downtown Winter Haven in February that has quickly convinced locals to spend between $5 and $10 for a quarter pound of artisan cheese.
Seven weeks into the venture that still gets confusing stares from pedestrians on Central Avenue, Summers is already adding new non-frommage specialty foods and looking for other ways to expand.
