Ken Burgin talks with Ilija and Nicole Sumracki, the owners of Nutrition Republic in Adelaide. Their business has grown from one retail shop, to four very popular food outlets, catering to people who want to ‘consume real, whole, unprocessed food, and have an awakening to the unnecessary and not so healthy ingredients used in many commonly bought foods’.

We discussed how they share responsibilities, managing cashflow and administration, developing business systems, creating a positive culture and working with a growing team of staff. Neither of them have a hospitality background, and they’ve learned and grown at a fast pace – there’s a lot they share that you will relate to!
