'Bubble Gang' actress Arny Ross and BF open 5th branch of milktea store, reveals hardships come with having a business

Kapuso actress Arny Ross and her boyfriend-slash business partner Franklin Banogon are opening a fifth branch of Bon Appetea milk chain.

It's clearly a no mean feat, and on Instagram, the "Bubble Gang" star revealed all the hard work and sacrifices behind the success of their businesses.

"Bago kami magsimula, alam ko na hindi talaga magiging madali mag-open ng isang restaurant, pero 'di ko din naisip noon na ganito pala kahirap mag-business," Arny began.

Fatigue, lack of sleep and less time for yourself are just a few things she's experienced in running their milktea store. "Ang daming kailangan gawin, ang daming kailangan i-check. As much as possible, kailangan mong bisitahin, kung di ka magiging hands-on, maraming pwede ding mangyari," she said.

"Minsan kasi dumadating talaga sa point na nake-question ko sarili ko, 'Ny, ano? kaya mo pa ba?' Kasi minsan, alam mo yung pagod na pagod ka na pero ang dami pang kailangang tapusin," Arny continued.

Then she turned her gaze to her boyfriend to say thanks. "Kung di dahil sayo Bhab, matagal na kong sumuko at di ko din nasimulan lahat ng to. Minsan nagkakaproblema na din kaming dalawa dahil sa business, pero never ako sinukuan ng business partner kong to!" she added.

Of course, Ross also poured out her gratitude to all their loyal customers and employees.

"Minsan nga kahit di mo pinagdadasal, binibigay niya! Grabe 'tong Bon Appetea namin, nagsimula sa isa, nadagdagan ng tatlo, at ngayon may sisimulan nang pang lima! Thank you Lord," she wrote.

"Thank you to our loyal customers. And of course, thank you to our 40 hardworking baristas, mas lalong d ko kaya kung wala kayo! Salamat!" — LA, GMA News
