Ray Blackburn, owner of several Wendy's locations, and George Angelos of the local Chik-Fil-A location, will speak on "Entrepreneurship Through Franchising."

The 5:30 to 6:45 p.m. program is free and open to the public and will be held in the college theatre (Room 1305).

Both will share their experiences as owners of nationally-known franchise restaurants.  A question-and-answer session will follow the presentations.  Refreshments will be available as well.

The  lecture series is sponsored by Coldwater Creek and coordinated by WVU Parkersburg’s Business, Economics, and Mathematics Division.
