8/25/13 Current Event

In an August 12, 2013 article titled Juiced Up, Clare O'Connor tells the story of Irwin Simon, the CEO of Hain Celestial.  Simon's health food corporation Hain Celestial bought up small natural-food companies.  Along with his connection to the Whole Foods Health Food Stores and his corporation's size, the companies that he has bought now can grow larger than before.  Hain has created over 4,000 jobs in the state of New York in the last twenty years.  Simon is also providing many healthy products for consumers.  I admire Hain Celestial's actions because they are producing great products and jobs that benefit the community as a whole.

  2. I enjoyed reading about this article because I like to support small businesses. I too admire Irwin Simon and his company for providing jobs. I might not be able to go to Whole Foods and get that really delicious pizza if it weren't for him.

  7. Even they might not bring as many jobs in as maybe a Wal-mart, small businesses are always better to go to than chain businesses.
