Willy Walton's Chocolate Factory



Mackenzie and Emily went to the University on Saturday for a great program presented by SIFE - Willy Walton's Chocolate Factory. They learned all about different aspects of business including economics, finance, accounting, marketing, management, and business ethics.

Mackenzie's group (below) created a business selling Big Red Chocolates - Razorback shaped chocloate available with strawberry, cherry or caramel filling. Their factory is located in Little Rock, Arkansas. They get their cocoa beans from Mexico, milk from Arkansas, sugar from Brazil, strawberries from Arkansas and their cherries from Canads. They plan to sell Big Red Chocolate at all Razorback athletic games They will utilize trucks for transportation and the will never tell a lie (ethics).

Mackenzie had a great time and learned a lot. I'd buy Big Red Chocolate - wouldn't you?!
