Oregon FBLA Member wins the National Maggie Moo’s
Business Plan writing contest!
Alesha Coleman from Philomath High School FBLA was awarded her very own MaggieMoo's franchise after a business plan that she created was selected as the overall national winner in the business plan writing contest. The award was presented on June 27, 2006 during the opening session of the FBLA National Leadership Conference held in Nashville, Tenneesee.
“I am so excited to be joining the MaggieMoo’s family,” said Coleman. “I can’t wait to open my own Treatery and implement the ideas I presented in my business plan. Look out Oregon, MaggieMoo’s is coming!”
Coleman recently graduated from Philomath High School. She was an active FBLA member, serving as Secretary and Public Relations Director. Additionally, she was a varsity cheerleader, varsity swim team member, was active in the PHS Biodiesel Initiative and a National Honor Society member. She plans to attend Pacific University and study molecular biology, and hopefully attend medical school. She plans to open her MaggieMoo’s franchise within close proximity to Pacific University, where she can have an active role in the management and operation of the Treatery.
FBLA-PBL members throughout the country were invited to submit a formal business plan for opening and operating a MaggieMoo’s Treatery. The contest winner was awarded the choice of a MaggieMoo’s franchise—MaggieMoo’s will waive the $30,000 franchise fee—or a $10,000 college scholarship. Applicants were asked to address all areas of business development including demonstrating a knowledge of the ice cream industry, identifying a potential Treatery location, determining an operating budget, marketing outreach and employee staffing.
Of the number of applications submitted, four finalist were chosen and two were from Oregon. The second place winner, Dani Hart, is a member of the Hidden Valley High School FBLA chapter and was given a $100.00 award.
MaggieMoo’s and FBLA-PBL have been partners since 2004. MaggieMoo’s firmly supports FBLA-PBL’s mission in preparing young people for success in business and developing entrepreneurial skills. In addition to the Business Plan Writing Contest, MaggieMoo’s is a national sponsor and hosts FBLA-PBL “Celebrity Scoop Night” fundraisers at its Treateries nationwide.
