In the spring of 1979, Ivan dropped out of school and he and Fran decided to open a vegetarian restaurant. They wanted to open a restaurant in Evanston, so they found a local diner, Blind Faith Cafe, on the southwest corner of Sherman avenue and dempster street. In the United States, Blind Faith Cafe is an old-fashioned "Snack Shop" with bright orange stalls where customers can order a quick meal. Business was slack and the owners were eager to sell. In September 1979, Fran and Ivan bought the restaurant and blind faith cafe was born. When a friend told the couple that they would have to open the restaurant with "blind faith" when they had so little money and experience, the restaurant's name came up. Their sole employee, Chris Hendricks, worked for six weeks, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant received positive feedback from the community, but its owners were exhausted. .
