Who is James McAllister?
Hi, I’m James – a husband, dad, entrepreneur, and now cotton candy vendor operating out of rural Washington state.
I started this business partly because of a health condition that limits what I can eat and makes traditional work difficult. Cotton candy – just spun sugar – is one of the few treats I can actually enjoy. Building a business around something that brings me and my family genuine joy felt like the right move.
I’ve sold millions on Amazon and built multiple online businesses. But honestly, showing up at local events and seeing all the happy faces at my booth might be my favorite thing I’ve ever done professionally.
Vend and Thrive is where I share everything I’ve learned – the real numbers, the honest mistakes, and the systems that actually work, so you can build this type of business too .
