Rocky Mountain Chocolate Welcomes New Franchisee
05 Outubro 2023 - 5:20PM
Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMCF) (the
“Company”, or “Rocky Mountain Chocolate”), an international
franchisor and producer of premium chocolates and other
confectionary products including gourmet caramel apples, welcomed a
new franchisee from the renowned Center for Franchise Development
in the Steven L. Craig School of Business at Missouri Western State
University (MWSU).
Jakob Grimm, of St. Joseph, MO, was the winner
of a rigorous competition conducted among a select group of
students in the school of business, culminating with a panel of
judges awarding him a Rocky Mountain Chocolate franchise store. The
components of the competition included presentations of
comprehensive business and marketing plans, a week of on-site
training at a Rocky Mountain Chocolate store, and other advanced
business management assignments. Mr. Grimm’s first order of
business was to orchestrate a grand reopening of his Branson, MO
store.
“I’m so excited to be the owner of a Rocky
Mountain Chocolate store,” said Mr. Grimm. “After enduring a very
tough competition, I am going to enjoy the very satisfying work of
bringing gourmet premium chocolate happiness to customers in and
around Branson.”
Rocky Mountain Chocolate has worked in
conjunction with MWSU since 2009, supporting the University in
launching a program through the Steven L. Craig School of Business
to identify and reward promising young entrepreneurs.
Since then, 33 competition winners have been awarded ownership of
Rocky Mountain Chocolate and other franchise store
concepts.
“It’s so rewarding to experience the exuberance
of our competition winners,” said Pam Klaus, Director for Franchise
Development at MWSU. “The program is steeped in the principles of
entrepreneurship, and we are proud to see our graduates set up to
succeed. The new leadership team at Rocky Mountain Chocolate has
really stepped up its support of the program and the competition
winners, past and present.”
Rob Sarlls, CEO of Rocky Mountain Chocolate
since May 2022, said, “It has been an honor to work with Ms. Klaus
and Mr. Craig. The program offers an unparalleled opportunity for a
college student to actually own a business upon graduation with the
requisite skills taught throughout the entrepreneurial program. We
are delighted to add Jakob to the long list of successful MWSU
legacy graduates operating dozens of stores throughout our
network.”
Mr. Grimm welcomes residents and visitors of
Branson to his store at 231 Branson Landing Blvd., Monday –
Saturday 10am to 9pm, and Sunday 10am-8pm.
