Exploring Life & Business with Andrea Shelby of The Kansas City Blues Juke House Restaurant & Bar

Today we’d like to introduce you to Andrea Shelby.

Hi Andrea, we’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
The KC Juke House was established 2007, by my father Benny Shelby. I worked beside him until 2012 when retired.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
Definitely, not smooth. In the restaurant/bar business there are always slow periods, however, 2020 had the most negative impact on the business having to reduce hours, close etc.

Great, so let’s talk business. Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
We are a restaurant & Bar. We specialize in live music and more
