Kim's passion for healthy food
Kim Sue Palm's passion for healthy food began in her childhood, when her parents taught her the importance of a nutritious diet. Despite her love for sweet treats, Kim combined her enthusiasm for healthy food with her baking experiments, leading to the creation of SUE. The company began as a hobby selling bites at food markets, but it quickly grew into a successful business with numerous sale partners and a loyal customer base.
Rotterdam's supportive entrepreneurial climate
In an interview, Kim describes the supportive entrepreneurial climate in Rotterdam as a significant contributor to SUE's success. She initially collaborated with Sajoer and Little Indians to establish the KLUP concept store, where they sold their products alongside other Rotterdam entrepreneurs. The store later transformed into the first SUE location, which has since expanded.
While Kim currently has no plans to further expand SUE in Rotterdam, she remains open to new opportunities that may arise. She believes in following her intuition when it comes to business decisions and embracing challenges that come her way.
Collaborating with local businesses
While SUE's ingredients are not entirely sourced locally due to the scale of the bakery's production, the company collaborates with other Rotterdam-based businesses. For instance, their tea is supplied by Theemaas, juices by Sajoer, and coffee by Man Met Bril.
