Small Business Spotlight: Looks like it might be time to grab lunch at Country Gourmet in Sunnyvale soon!

“We can’t control the world, but we can be kind in here. I have this kind of hokey thing that I say. The ‘country’ in Country Gourmet is synonymous with ‘community.’ That’s what feeds me. That’s what I am most proud of.”

For Julia Blum, being hired a year after Country Gourmet opened in Sunnyvale became the “summer job that never stopped.” Now, as owner, she is celebrating the eatery’s 40th anniversary and the customers who have loyally supported the business all these years.
