Running a business is hard. Running a business with your spouse is harder.
But Andrew and Alix Ambriz – owners of Embers Bakery & Cafe in McCook, Nebraska – are navigating marriage and parenthood while providing their community with a place to gather. Pretty cool, right?

On this week’s episode of Building Nebraska, Andrew shares about the logistics of running the business, how much flour they go through in a year, and the “why” behind it all.
