This 21-year-old Wichita entrepreneur is opening her own cafe next week

A 21-year-old Wichita entrepreneur who is following her mother into the food business is about to open a new coffee shop. Make that “cowffee” shop. Hailey Hernandez is about to upgrade her mobile coffee trailer, recognizable for its black-and-white cow print paint job, into a brick-and-mortar coffee shop. The name of the business is La Cumis Cowffee , and it will open sometime next week in a strip center near 21st and Amidon. The exact address is 2040 W. 21st St., and the space Hernandez is taking over was previously occupied by a business called Blend Nutrition . The coffee shop will feature the same items La Cumis has been serving since it first opened as a mobile coffee trailer in 2024: hot and iced Mexican-style coffees such as mazapan latte, banana latte, Mexican mocha, coconut matcha and cookie butter matcha. Now that the weather is turning cold, she also plans to start serving atole, which is a warm Mexican drink made with corn masa. The shop, which will have seating for dine-in customers, also will offer the homemade Mexican pastries and breads Hernandez has become known for. She also plans to serve breakfast burritos and tamales. Hernandez is the

‘Shark Tank' investors loved this Haysville business, but did they invest in it?

A few things were immediately clear when this week’s “ Shark Tank ” aired with Haysville resident Jared Mortensen’s pitch . First, the sharks, the show’s potential investors, were immediately taken with Mortensen and his Real Men Apparel Co. Second, they also had a good time laughing — nay, giggling — about what he sells. That’s underwear with different pouches ranging from billiard-ball sizing all the way up to softball sizing, or the ball metric system as Mortensen explained. He told the investors that “underwear is traditionally designed flat in the front so it smashes the boys up against the body.” “I know,” shark Daymond John said. “I know.” Mortensen said the sharks probably were asking how a man goes about finding his size. “We are not asking that,” shark Rashaun Williams jokingly replied. The sharks loved his pitch and Mortensen’s various euphemisms around his products. “That was the funniest pitch I’ve heard in a long time,” Williams said. The sharks used a few euphemisms themselves. They got down to business and asked about his net and gross sales, too. Though they seemed impressed with his numbers, none of the judges jumped at Mortensen’s offer of a 7% stake in
