ALL ABOUT SOUTH MAPLE STREET

About the Founder

Owner and founder of South Maple Street, Angela Bolt, is a California native who grew up along the West Coast before relocating to NW Arkansas to be closer to family. Angela comes from a family full of entrepreneurs and enthusiasts that spans a vast variety of industries and passions including antiques, culinary, automotive, long haul trucking, wrangling, nursing, historic construction restoration, landlines, hotels, and restaurants. While growing up Angela felt especially close to those who poured themselves into their passions inside and outside of their careers. After training for two years under a Le Cordon Bleu French-trained Chef, Angela wrapped up her Business studies at Warner Pacific University in Portland, Oregon, and dove headfirst into the restaurant, bar, and hospitality industries. After mastering every aspect of the restaurant, bar, and lounge business Angela turned her focus to consulting for failing restaurant and bar programs with a special focus on boutique-style properties featuring craft cocktail programs.

How South Maple Street Was Born

In 2022, while having lunch with friends the discussion turned to favorite tangible skills and what the ideal situation looked like in which those skills were tapped into for the ultimate career path. This conversation topic wasn’t a new idea, we have all asked or answered the question, “what would you do if money was no object?”, however, this particular conversation resurfaced and highlighted the idea of dreaming and reaching for that dream. This conversation stuck with Angela, and a matter of days later, South Maple Street was born.
