HEIDI'S HOME CATERING....started in 1991. As with so many companies, it was an idea long before that. The weekly home meal program was the first to thrive. One busy family led to another; then the first party, the first wedding, and so on. Now in 2005, HEIDI'S CATERING AND EVENTS  is incorporated with over 11,000 square feet of kitchen, corporate offices, and the rental division in Tempe, Arizona.
 
Construction started with a state-of-the-art kitchen in October of 1995. Heidi physically did 80% of the work herself with help from family and friends. Since construction was not her area of expertise, it presented her with a challenge. "If you can read, you can learn to do anything, with a little help from Home Depot," Heidi says. "How-to-do-books" and a desire to know everything took a great part in the development of Heidi's success. The kitchen opened officially in April 1996 with a grand opening party: over 200 guests attended. In March 2001, Heidi's expanded by opening its corporate offices and Rental division. In 2004, Heidi purchased an 11,000 square foot building in Tempe and has over 50 employees. Heidi attributes her success to "hard work; as much as it takes, no debt; don't buy until you can afford it, and to have something to do it all for."

Heidi's Home catering is a member of the Ahwatukee, Tempe, and Chandler Chambers, the Better Business Bureau, the Better Wedding Bureau, as well as being an active member in the Women Owned Business Association, Minority Business Owners Association, Entrepreneurial Mothers' Association, and the Small Business Enterprise Association.
