We invite our Honors Graduates and their guests to attend our Graduation Celebration. Join us in honoring your achievements on April 22, 2016 in the Riverfront Banquet Center. Dinner begins at 6:15pm and the program starts at 7pm.
Come and get lunch and listen to a short presentation by Rick Tromble, an entrepreneur, a successful business owner and a gentleman farmer. We will also have a Q&A session.
Rick Tromble is an entrepreneur, a successful business owner and a gentleman farmer. Tromble’s business journey began with an idea, a Small Business Administration (SBA) loan, and a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Michigan—Flint. After graduation, he implemented his plan to build a drive-thru convenience store in Lapeer, called “Pop Stop,” where people could buy drinks and snacks. He secured an SBA loan, and after successfully operating the business for just six months he sold it for a considerable profit.
He went on to purchase a cluster of retail stores after is success with his Pop Stop store. Tromble went on to sell these stores to several of the employees. After selling his second store, he went on to purchase a Taco Bell in Venice, Florida in 1988. After some struggle, his franchise was successful which lead him to add 65 more locations. Tromble and his wife went on to purchase more failing franchises and turn their story around.
In 2005 Rick and Michele embarked on another business idea: hay for horses. Michele Tromble, an equestrian, began to board horses as they sold off several of their restaurants. The Tromble’s began to grow hay on their property in Cheboygan with the hopes of getting high quality hay to Florida.
Over the years, Tromble hadn’t given up on his original idea to own a car dealership. He’d investigated buying dealerships in Michigan and Florida, but nothing worked out. Finally, in 2005, while shopping for some trucks for his farm, he made contact with his local Ford dealership. While negotiating with the dealer over the price of several trucks, Tromble made an inquiry about buying part of the dealership. Before it was over, he had purchased one third of the dealership. Five years later, in 2010, he became a partner in a Toyota and
Chrysler dealership.

Come out and have free pizza with Kevin Shaw, VP of Franchise Sales at Coffee Beanery!
About Kevin Shaw
Kevin started fixing coffee machines in the kitchen at the age of 6, he had to stand on a milk crate because like most 6 year olds he was short. He had a brief encounter at Central Michigan University cementing his entrepreneurial direction, where he started several successful seasonal businesses. He formally joined the family business (1986) as a manager of the Ren Cen store in Detroit and soon after moved back to corporate to develop the roasting, flavoring and packaging processes that have evolved into what you see today. He also began selling franchises in 1989. Kevin believes the glass is always half full…..if you aren’t laughing within minutes of meeting him give him more coffee and wait.
