   <description>After taking early retirement, Mary Curkov found herself back in the kitchen—this time, baking up a business plan. With more than thirty years in corporate sales and merchandising, Curkov was ready to launch a new venture, one that offered flexibility, purpose, and a creative outlet. Entrepreneurship was the natural next step, allowing her to blend career experience with personal passion to build a rewarding company from scratch. That became the recipe for Mary C Gluten-Free Treats, a brand built on empathy, creativity, and the desire to make life sweeter for those with dietary restrictions. </description>
