Faced with limited job opportunities, the friends opted to start small by doing menial jobs while saving towards a joint business.

This led to the creation of their fast-food venture, Crunchy Masters. Strategically located on the KNUST campus, their business targets students directly.

They specialise in fried yam, a popular small-chops snack among students, and beautifully packaged coconut juice.

Though barely two months old, the entrepreneurs report that business has been promising, and they are optimistic about expanding their venture into a larger enterprise in the future.
