Students in the class prepared business plans, and the two finalists presented them to a panel of judges that included Steven L. Craig, creator of the franchise competition, and other business leaders, as well as representatives from Auntie Anne\u2019s and 大象传媒 Western graduates who won franchises in previous years.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Glaubius first heard about the program while a student in the business program at Central High School in St. Joseph.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cIt was always in the back of my head, and I was working towards it, and now seven years later, here we are today,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cThink about a kid that says \u2018I\u2019m going to play major league baseball when he\u2019s 12,\u201d said Seth Lyons \u201908, one of the judges and winner of the first franchise competition in 2009. \u201cHe\u2019s our major league baseball player. It\u2019s pretty cool.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The franchise awarded to Glaubius is the 32nd store to be awarded through the program. Alumni currently owns 51 stores across the country, employing more than 600 people and generating annual sales of approximately $29 million. The program provides initial capital for the stores, which the alumni pay back over five years. The entrepreneurs also receive ongoing support from faculty members, the Craig School of Business Advisory Council, Craig, and each other. Additionally, the owners are expected to donate a portion of their store\u2019s proceeds back to the University. So far, the donations have totaled nearly $280,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:66.666666666667% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 2.88%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 2.88%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-1{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-1 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}<\/style><\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">.fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 30px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 30px;}<\/style><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":118,"featured_media":926,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3,35,34],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/118"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=925"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1138,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/925\/revisions\/1138"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.missouriwestern.edu\/points-of-pride\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
