Locals line up on opening day of Paducah’s Chicken Salad Chick
“It is always valuable to connect with other small business owners about struggles, strategy and successes,” Englert said.
“This program is for small business owners who have a common interest to do small business better. Those new and seasoned to small business will be able to connect and share in ways that will help them be confident about what to fix next.”
According to the release, this is the five-month long program’s third year. The chamber says the previous 30 graduates have seen “excellent results,” including: expanding their businesses and opening new locations.
Classes start on June 7 and continue through October. The cost to attend is $750. The chamber says payment plans are available and they offer a money-back guarantee for anyone who isn’t satisfied with the program after completing it with no more than two absences. Additionally, minority-owned business scholarships are available thanks to West Kentucky Community and Technical College and the MacKenzie Scott National Philanthropic Trust grant, the release explains.
