Shaunna Zanker-, Owner of Stanhope Locker & Market and the soon to be opened Tavern 17, has always loved the rush of a busy Friday night in a restaurant. She worked as a server and bartender throughout high school and college and eventually earned a degree in human services. However, the hospitality industry was always in the back of her mind. “I guess you could say I was always good at “peopleing,” jokes the mom of four. Today Shaunna owns a full-service meat locker and will soon be opening a small bar & grill. Says Shauna, “The hospitality industry has limitless skies—for me it means I have the privilege of seeing the food product from start to finish.”
