PLEASANTON – In the fair town of Pleasanton where dreams unfold, a cheesy tale is about to be told.

Kira Zabrowski and her husband Mark, gambled their savings on a fresh new start.

“Everyone thought we were crazy,” Kira said.

“We were in a really tough spot. Sales weren’t happening. Summer was really rough, people weren’t coming in,” Kira said.
