ANNOUNCEMENT THIS WEEK...

PRISCILLA CASPER REPORTS.. THE
EMPLOYEES WILL SOON RUN THE
BUSINESS.
((HPLAZ PRISCILLA)) IT IS ONE
OF ARIZONA'S OLDEST CRAFT
BREWERIES... ITS BEERS..
SCATTERED THROUGH SUPERMARKETS
AND RESTAURANTS ACROSS
ARIZONA... NOW THE FATE OF THE
COMPANY.. IN THE HANDS OF ITS
EMPLOYEES... ((PKG)) BARRIO
BREWING COMPANY... OPENED IN
1991 IN TUCSON... AND NEARLY
THREE DECADES LATER... THE
OWNERS ARE transferring the
entirety of the business'
ownership to its employees. as
we head towards retirement it
dawned on me that everybody
that I have been working with
all this time probably doesn't
have really much of a shot at
a great retirement, social
security being what it was. so
this allows them to be in
charge of their own destiny
going forward FOUNDER...
Dennis arnold says they are
able to do this through an
Employee Stock Ownership
Plan... Employees who work one
thousand hours in one year
will automatically be
enrolled. we have seen people
grow up around here.... andrea
has been with me for 25
years... and i want to make
sure your retirement is going
to be wonderful ((hplaz

produces nearly 15-THOUSAND

PERCENT OF THE BUSINESS
