Robin recounts how Maxie B’s, the Greensboro bakery/cafe she started and has managed for more than 40 years, wasn’t planned – but instead was “a happy accident.” It all began with Robin baking cakes at home and then taking them to the bakery to sell by the slice, “… and today we have Maxie B’s because of it.”

Coverage from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina helps make health care simpler for the Maxie B’s team. As Robin explains, it also helps provide a sense of security and unity that gives the small business a unique family feel.

[Robin]

The bakery was never planned. I was expecting my son, began baking cakes at home. My husband grew tired of having too much sweet stuff around that tempted him.

And so, I brought it to the bakery and just told the girls to sell it by the slice and we have Maxie B’s because of it.

[Music]

Over the last 40 years, what I’ve come to realize is it’s not me. I don’t do this by myself.

I have an absolutely amazing team.

I think my challenge is finding out how to make their lives work and be better for working here.

Maxie B’s isn’t just a bakery it’s a home for our team and a home for our community.

Robin is one of the most intentional business people that I have ever met. She cares about her employees.

And Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina is here to make health care easy so they can focus on what they love.

[Robin]

To make the perfect cake you need to have the right ingredients, and we need the same thing for our team here as well.

And Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina is part of that recipe for us.
