After the long trips to her new home in New York, Kay began to recreate the soap from Greece in her Brooklyn kitchen. Later she moved to Norwalk, Connecticut and opened Kay's Luncheonette with her brother, George (in the picture). There she and her ever-growing family began experimenting with cold-process soap making. The small handcrafted batches became so popular that the company began to formulate new personal care products and expand beyond soap now in Greenwich, CT. Two generations later, her grandson and his girlfriend manage the company that currently sells the Manos Soap Co.™ products.
