Seattle’s first cupcake shop now an empire celebrating ten years
From a single shop in the Madrona neighborhood, Cupcake Royale has grown to seven locations and 110 employees. Owner and EO members Jody Hall expects sales to reach $6 million this year, about double what they were in 2008. Her various locations sell at least one million cupcakes a year, along with their own brand of ice cream.
