Frozen sambusa company Hoyo to expand with new commercial kitchen in Minneapolis

Since its founding ten years ago, a Minneapolis-based business has grown to sell frozen sambusas to grocery stores and school districts across the state.

Hoyo CEO Ghita Worcester joins MPR News host Nina Moini to talk about what’s next.
