About

     Nino Loreto was infused with the spirit of entrepreneurship by virtue of the fact that his dad often whispered into his wife's belly "entrepreneur, you're going to be an entrepreneur"!  Nino was blessed with many God given talent and intelligence.  He's a highly motivated individual and a natural leader with a hard work ethic which rubs off on all with whom he works.  He has a great sense of humor and a sincere devotion to helping his fellow man, both of which make him beloved by his family, friends and virtually everyone that he's ever worked with.

    Nino started his first business, Snow Works, while still in college.  Snow Works was a Hawiian Shaven Ice business with one permanent location and a second mobile unit trailer for special events.  Nino ultimately sold Snow Works to raise money to open his second business, Panino the Food Truck.  Nino build the truck from the ground up, setting up a gourmet kitchen inside the truck.  Nino used the truck as a promotional vehicle (no pun intended) to test and develop his proof of concept for his next step, a bricks and mortar fast casual restaurant.  Panino the Food Truck was a huge success earning high acclaim and multiple awards, including special recognition as a "Best Of" for each of the two years that he participated in The Taste of Cincinnati.  Nino ultimately sold the food truck to a company in Alabama and then used the proceeds to open his next business, Panino OTR.
