I. A chocolatier and a yoga teacher

Laura's roots in McKinney go back nearly two decades when she bought her first home in the area. Childhood memories of cooking with her family ignited her love for the culinary arts. After exploring the restaurant world, she embraced her true calling as a chocolatier, leaving behind a corporate career.

Goodies was brought to McKinney by the Lanio family, who relocated the store from Newport, Rhode Island in 2011. Laura became friends with the family while working at her other business just four doors down Tennessee St. When the Lanio’s shared plans to move back north, Laura jumped at the opportunity to purchase the business and keep this establishment in Downtown McKinney.

Beyond Goodies, Laura also owns North Texas Yoga, cherishing the camaraderie among fellow business owners and customers in downtown McKinney. Running both establishments in this idyllic setting fulfills her dream.
