The Women’s Business Center of Utah (WBCUtah), a statewide entrepreneurial center for women hosted by the Salt Lake Chamber, has honored Molly Kohrman, owner of Brownies! Brownies! Brownies! (Browniesx3) as the 2020 WBCUtah Entrepreneur of the Year. The award was made at the organization’s recent virtual Disco Biz Bash.
The WBCUtah Entrepreneur of the Year award was established to honor a client who has shown excellence in overcoming challenges, creating resilience and exhibiting the entrepreneurial spirit, said Ann Marie Wallace, state director of WBCUtah.
“It is an honor to serve talented, innovative and hardworking women business owners throughout Utah,” said Wallace. “Molly is a great example of an entrepreneur who serves and benefits her community. She stood out as a compassionate and tenacious entrepreneur who deserves to be recognized for her excellence in business ownership.”
Kohrman is the owner of Browniesx3, a Salt Lake gourmet brownie shop offering late-night pickup with a rotating selection of fancy, layered brownies made from scratch. She contributes her product for community support as well, hosting events that benefit local charities.
“I have always wanted to help people and my little brownie shop has allowed me to do just that — on my own terms. That’s probably the best thing about being a business owner,” said Kohrman. “Before I ever opened my doors for business, I knew I wanted to make a difference in my community. Being selected as WBCUtah’s Entrepreneur of the Year feels like those efforts have not gone unnoticed. It has been a huge vote of confidence.”
Kohrman is one of nearly 3,000 diverse women business owners the Women’s Business Center of Utah has served in the past year. Despite the global pandemic, WBCUtah continues to help women across the state build their confidence, create opportunities and experience success in business ownership, said Wallace.
