For many of the BUS 290 Introduction to Entrepreneurship students, their food truck proposal to two Chick-fil-A store owner-operators at 8 a.m. on a Monday was their introduction to the real world of the art of pitching.<\/p>\n
Divided into four groups of four to six students each, the class had a week to prepare proposals and pitches on investing in food trucks for Chick-fil-A. Jerry Goebeler<\/strong>, owner and operator of the Brookhaven location, and Theresa Wilson<\/strong>, owner and operator of the Chamblee store, served as judges, evaluating the presentations on a number of criteria.<\/p>\nChick-fil-A owner\/operators Jerry Goebeler and Theresa Wilson tally scores of student presentations.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\u201cThe students really did an amazing job,\u201d said Goebeler, whose location is one of the few Chick-fil-A stores without a drive-through. \u201cWhat I appreciated most is how they understood our company\u2019s principles and led with the commitment to quality and customer service.\u201d<\/p>\n
