We know a little bit about family business… We started as a family business, and we are proud to continue that with a second generation of 4 siblings operating the business today. Recently, John (CEO) and Joe (CMO) returned with their dad and Founder, Hugh Gaither to UNC Kenan–Flagler Business School to speak with students in a family business class. Since 2021, they’ve stepped into the classroom each year to share the real story of building a family business—the wins, the challenges, and the many lessons learned along the way. For Hugh and Joe, it’s especially meaningful. Joe attended UNC as an undergrad (History major!?!), and Hugh earned his MBA from Kenan-Flagler. Going back to speak in the same place where they were once students brings a real sense of perspective and accomplishment. We share moments like this because staying connected to our community matters to us. We’re by no means resting on our laurels; we just like to pause occasionally and reflect. Go Heels!
