We went to Campo Maior to visit the Conceitos de Esquina shop and talk to its founder, Susana Guerra, while sipping a creamy coffee from the local brand. We discovered yet another extremely interesting project that we really fell in love with.
Susana Guerra was born in Elvas but moved to Campo Maior at the age of 3 for her parents' professional reasons. She grew up and studied in Campo Maior, took a professional technical course in business management and in 1997 started working at Delta Cafés, the region's largest employer, where she stayed for 24 years, 19 of which in accounting and logistics and 5 years in management.
Along the way, she married and had children and when her eldest son went to university, Susana and her husband thought it would make sense to have a job and extra income to cover the family's expenses.
That's when they began to play with wood and developed some small pieces. The fun became more serious and the next thing they knew they had their hands full. They started expanding to all regions and sending personalised pieces all over the country. The launch pad for this new business was an appearance at FIAPE (Estremoz International Agricultural and Livestock Fair) in 2022, and from then on they never stopped.
Susana was forced to leave her job of more than two decades at Delta Cafés and, in January 2023, she dedicated herself exclusively to the wood project, created a brand together with her husband - "Create for You by LG" and the two decided to open a shop in the centre of Campo Maior to cope with the range of customers they already had and also because they felt the need to have a physical shop, which opened its doors in May 2023.
This project, in addition to the wide range of clients scattered all over the place, has the support of renowned restaurants and chefs who use the boards to arrange their delicacies when they serve them at the table.
In the Conceitos de Esquina shop you'll find a varied display of boards, other wood-based craft items and a range of carefully selected, high-quality regional products from the Alentejo. Our Despensa Franciscana brand has been included in this selection and those who visit the shop will be able to find our ginjinha, jam, biscuits and therapeutic sour cherry stone cushions.
This shop has a concept of unique pieces and they never repeat a piece. If you want to buy a board with your name or logo personalised, you can do so through our online shop.
