Quotes of the Week

Since tomorrow is July the 4th, we are posting an abbreviated list of highlighted quotes from the Wake Forest Schools of Business faculty.

"Krispy Kreme's history also has significant ties to North Carolina, and so it makes sense to create a larger splash in one of the state's, and the Southeast's, best and most exciting markets."
