John and Angela Petro are excited to invite you to the High Line Car House for the Together & Company Family Business Showcase. The Family Business Showcase, open to Central Ohio's family businesses and community leaders, offers an inside view of members organizations and the opportunity to hear from the families who run them. Together & Company, a full-service catering and events company, began in 1997 as Two Caterers and has grown to provide much more than box lunches. Hear the story of how Angela Petro and a friend kicked off their business by giving away coffee and menus at traffic lights - and grew to the complete hospitality company of today, going “all in” with John joining the business just six months before the onset of the Covid pandemic.
