She has worked in catering for 15 years and was previously the manager of a cafe in Cheshire.

The 29-year-old, from Alsager, said: “I am just your average girl. I decided I had always worked for somebody else, but I felt I was getting fed up with helping other people make money.

“I have got four children to support, so one of the reasons is to make their lives a bit better.

“With help from friends, I had got the money together to open up the shop. It took us four weeks to get it ready.

“I was previously working at Snack Shack in Crewe for the past year.

“I have got a couple of other girls working through the week, depending on how it goes.”

Chandelle is currently being helped out by former boss, Pete Davis.

She said: “I rang Pete and I said ‘You won’t like this, but I’m going to open my own business’ “I need to support my children.

“My husband, Adam Jones, who is 28, is a stay-at-home dad.”
