Family Business Club Students Take Trek to Cheerwine and Power Curbers

Group of students watching a demonstration in a shop

Family Business Club students joined Director Lauren Willets and Assistant Director Chesney Maniaci for visits to two incredible family-owned businesses in Salisbury, NC.

We started the morning at Cheerwine, where G5 family member Carl Ritchie shared stories from his time as an undergrad in our family business curriculum—what a full-circle moment.

After a rooftop lunch at the vibrant, family-owned Go Burrito!, we capped off the day with a behind-the-scenes tour of Power Curbers Companies, led by President Stephen Bullock.

A huge thank you to the business leaders who welcomed our students so generously, and to the FBC Student Executive Team for a phenomenal year of events.
