Gobble Doggs owner leads kids in an entrepreneurship program

Homewood restaurant Gobble Doggs partnered with educators at Neal Armstrong Elementary School in Richton Park to teach 10 students entrepreneurship skills. After selling their products, the students raised $157.50 for South Suburban PADS (SSPADS).

The fourth and fifth-grade students from Neal Armstrong met during lunch in the school’s Science Lab periodically in January and February. Gobble Doggs owner Annah Mitchell taught the students how to brainstorm business ideas and make, market and sell a product.
