He went on to say “helping others grow their business and sharing lessons learned along the way is core to our values.” The consulting service provides practical advice with a focus on results.
Maureen Woloszczuk, Vice President and Co-Founder of GMWC went on to say “It has been incredible seeing our family grow up in the business and help with its success. All 6 of our now adult children started off at entry level positions and earned their way to leadership roles. They were all held to a higher standard than the other employees.” Maureen along with family members and employees, supported hundreds of events throughout the Triangle. The events ranged from family reunions, charitable fundraisers, weddings, and VIP events for well known musicians and other celebrities.
The company has employed hundreds of people over the past few years.

All employees have been offered positions with the new operating company. The expectation is for a seamless transition and “business as usual” as Maureen continued to comment. In addition, the company has used many local businesses for construction, repair and other services that resulted in and provided jobs for many more people throughout the area and contributed millions to the economy.

Gregory and Maureen expressed their thanks to all their guests via a celebration held on August 29, 2016. They appreciate the community supporting them. The Great Recession saw lots of good people lose their businesses and more. The support from the community via frequenting the restaurants and resulting in more than a dozen “best of” awards is humbling. Both look forward to the next decade of business.
