Shannon and Mo

Shannon Martinez & Mo Wyse united while working together creating The Peopleʼs Market in Collingwood and share over thirty years of hospitality, food preparation, cooking, marketing and management experience between them. Martinezʼs award-winning career includes: head chef of East Brunswick Club, The Gasometer Hotel and The Sweetwater Inn, while Wyse, an American, CV includes journalism, cartoon colourist, restaurant management, marketing, business development, TV and large-scale event production. The two own and operate Smith & Daughters, Smith & Deli and many more to come.

Shannon and Mo are committed to expanding and perfecting the dynamic food culture of plant-based cuisine. The two are powered by Positive Mental Attitude and believe their unique product will inspire change. Beginning with a Latin restaurant and bar in Fitzroy, the Smith & Daughters brand intends on infiltrating the grocery/cafe/deli, catering, food truck, and large-scale food production worlds. With unstoppable conviction, these ladies believe their product will reach a new level in food, beverage, presentation, service and design. Taking Care of Business was made famous by Elvis and will be immortalised by Martinez and Wyse.
