Brandon Miles, 25, owner of “Making Tasty Visits,” is one of North Philadelphia’s rising entrepreneurs.

Brandon joined the workforce at the early age of 13, and spent his days working on cars in and around the neighborhood. In his late teens, Brandon went on to get his associates degree, which motivated him to pursue his studies further, until he eventually got a degree in Business Marketing as well. Brandon’s latest business venture, “Making Tasty Visits,” is flourishing in North Philadelphia, despite of the competition from other water ice stalls. Brandon explains that what separates “Making Tasty Visits” from its competitors, is its exotic and unique flavors, inspired by Brandon’s Caribbean heritage. In my interview with Brandon, I had the pleasure of learning a little about his business, what it was like to grow up in North Philadelphia, and why he chose the path that he did.
