Finding balance in a family business
BUSINESS JOURNAL
Numbers can tell a story.
For example, statistics
from the Family Business
Consulting Group in Deerfield, Illinois show that 70
percent of family business
don’t make it to the second
generation.
On the flip side, you also
can say nearly a third of
family businesses survive
into the next generation.
Says Craig Aronoff, the
co-founder of FBCG, “What
distinguishes family businesses, of course, is family.
Adding family values, loyalty, pride, cohesiveness,
meaning and all the other
strengths of family to business ownership and management seems to provide
sustenance not available to
‘What distinguishes family
businesses, of course, is family. Adding
family values, loyalty, pride, cohesiveness,
meaning and all the other strengths of family
to business ownership and management
seems to provide sustenance not available
to other enterprises.’

other enterprises.
“Given an economy that
chews up and spits out
whole industries, technology evolving at unprecedented rates, Wall Street
probing every niche to ‘unlock’ financial value, global
competition ... and the social and cultural pressures
that make successful family life increasingly challenging, I believe that a 30
percent generational survival rate among family
businesses is incredible

future is within your reach.
testimony to the positive
power of family when applied to business. I believe
that these oft-cited statistics offer yet another reason
to celebrate family businesses.”
In addition, 10-15 percent of family businesses
make it to the third generation and 3-5 percent make
it to the fourth generation.
So what does it take to
run a family business?
Some tips from Startup Nation:
SET SOME BOUNDARIES.
Mixing business, personal
and home life will eventually produce a volatile brew.
Limit business discussions
outside of the office.
ESTABLISH CLEAR AND REGULAR METHODS OF COMMUNICATION. Problems and
differences of opinion are
inevitable.
Consider
weekly meetings to assess
progress, air any differences and resolve disputes.
DIVIDE ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES. While various family members may
be qualified for similar
tasks, duties should be
divvied up to avoid conflicts. Big decisions can be
made together, but a debate over each little move
will bog the family business down.
TREAT IT LIKE A BUSINESS. A
common pitfall in a family
business is placing too
much emphasis on “family” and not enough on
“business.” The characteristics of a healthy business
may not always be compatible with family harmony,
so be ready to face those
situations when they arise.
RECOGNIZE THE ADVANTAGES OF FAMILY OWNERSHIP.
Family-owned businesses
offer unique benefits. One
is access to human capital
in the form of other family
members. This can be a key
to survival, as family members can provide low-cost
or no-cost labor, or emergency loans. Firms run by
trusted family members
can also avoid special accounting systems, policy
manuals and legal documents.
TREAT FAMILY MEMBERS
FAIRLY. While some experts
advise against hiring family
members at all, that sacrifices one of the great

Husband and wife expand bus business in Starkville
BY ZACK ORSBORN
BUSINESS JOURNAL
STARKVILLE – Stephanie
and Randy Futral, owners
of ACR Coach in Starkville,
met on a charter bus in
1996.
Randy drove buses for
his parent’s company, OR
Tours. He was tasked to
transport the Mississippi
University for Women’s
basketball team, which
Stephanie was a member.
The two married in 1997,
and five years later, they decided to buy Starkville
Buses and form ACR Coach
– named after their three
children, Adrienne, Codie
and Randall.
At first, Stephanie and
Randy ran the entire company by themselves from
point A to point Z.
“We didn’t have any staff.
We have learned to let go of
the responsibilities to let
other people handle that,”
Stephanie said. “The staff
today compared to four
years ago is completely different. Our days are completely different. We are
able to focus on the overall
picture as opposed to dayto-day operations.”
As a bus driver, Randy
learned how to master customer service – a skill that
has kept ACR Coach rolling
for 13 years.
“You have precious cargo
on board so you have to
take extra precautions,” he
said. “You have to get them
to their destination but you
also have to make sure they
are happy and content.”
The couple managed
eight buses when they first
started. Now, they own
more than 25 buses, including three super sleeper
coaches used to transport
the Mississippi State University football team.
ACR Coach buses have
traveled all over the United
States and even Canada.
The company also transported people involved
with the Democratic and
Republican Conventions
and several Super Bowls.
FINDING BALANCE
Working together as husband and wife, the couple
learned that business doesn’t stay in the office.
“No matter how much

Grandmother, granddaughter work together at deli
BY ZACK ORSBORN
BUSINESS JOURNAL
NEW ALBANY – Allee
Nichols Clements grew up
in her grandparents’
restaurant, Nichols Foods
& Deli in New Albany.
After skating and riding
her bicycle around the
deli, she began her first
business venture by taking
items off the shelves, setting up a booth and selling
the items for a cheaper
price.
“I kept the money,” Allee
said with a laugh. “I made
a sign that said, ‘I’m
closed, I have enough
money,’ and I spelled it
like ‘enuff.’ I was like five.”
Her
grandmother,
Rhonda Nichols, laughed
with her as she recalled
her granddaughter’s business savvy.
Rhonda and her husband, Joe, started their
company in 1979 at a different location than the
current one. It began as a
tiny little store across the
street from a shirt factory.
“We had a tremendous
business with sandwiches
everyday with them in the
early morning, afternoon
and before they went
home,” Rhonda said. “We
outgrew the building because it was so tiny.”
In 1984, they built their
current location, a much
larger operation with a full
line of groceries. Twelve
years later, the shirt factory
took business overseas,
causing the Nichols to regroup and slowly start
building their
business.
FOR WHAT THEY ARE
Rhonda’s passion from
cooking and secret recipes
helped the business to
evolve into a bustling catering service - with the help
of her family, of course.
Besides her granddaughter Allee, Rhonda’s sister,
daughter, daughter-in-law,
grandson-in-law and husband all join in on the efforts.
Describing their family
relationship, the two couldn’t help but smile.
“We have always gotten
along,” Allee said. “We don’t
argue.”
In stressful situations,
TEAMWORK. QUALITY. CONFIDENCE.

United States’ first new silicon metal production facility in 40 years,

First family of doughnuts is opening another store in Tupelo
BY DENNIS SEID
BUSINESS JOURNAL
TUPELO – ScarletWilson’s
family has been in the
doughnut-making business
for nearly 60 years, so it was
only natural thatshe would
continue the legacy.
Her father, Eddie McGaugh, opened the first
Shipley’s Donuts store in
Mississippi in 1959. Her siblings also own Shipley’s franchises.
In Tupelo, Scarlet and her
husband, David, own two
stores, with a third on the
way.
“My uncles – my dad’s two
brothers – opened a Shipley’s in Pine Bluff, Arkansas,
and my father was there,
too,” she said. “So you had
three families trying to make
a living from one store but
they couldn’t all make a living.”
Wilson’s father told
Lawrence Shipley Sr., the
founder of the company,
that he liked the doughnut
business but couldn’t make
a living with his two brothers.
“Mr. Shipley told my dad
to pick a location and he
would finance it,” she said.
McGaugh chose a spot
near the railroad tracks in
Greenville to the dismay of
Shipley, who told him he’d
starve.
Within six months, McGaugh had repaid the
$9,000 loan.
Wilson was 12 when her
parents opened a second
Greenville location. Both
stores are still open, and her
siblings have stores inVicksburg, Hattiesburg and
Nashville.
But Wilson didn’t jump
right away into the business.
She was a nurse for an eye
surgeon and her husband
worked at a factory in
Greenville.
“I always said I wouldn’t
open one, but David
wanted to get into the family business and we gave it a
shot,” Wilson said. “And
once we got open, I just
thought how much I loved
the customers, how much I
loved being at the store.”
They opened the South

the family in the business.
But there’s a tweak in the
plans.
The Shipley’s stores will be
rebranded Scarlet’s Donuts,
as the Wilsons decided to
make a break with the company that they had partnered with for so long.
Scarlet and David wanted
to continue serving their hot
tamales and other products
that Shipley’s was no longer
going to allow them to sell
under the Shipley name.
In a tough decision, they
ended their franchise agreement in order to maintain
their local offerings.
“These are things Tupelo
likes and are used to,” she
said, “and we would have
had to do away with them.
“Everything will stay the
same basically except the
name and the mix (to make
the doughnuts),” she said.
“Same stores, same employees, same owners, same
family.”
As for running a family
business,Wilson said it boils
down to following her father’s advice, and making
sure the next generation follows it as well.
“You make a good product and you take care of the
customers,” she said.

Rhonda said everyone generally stays calm.
“If we’re stressed and
somebody has to vent, you
vent and get it over with,”
she said. “Nobody gets mad
about it. We move on. At
the beginning of the season, we said, ‘If we are hurting anybody’s feelings, let
us know ahead of time.’”
The close-knit family
talks about anything and
everything, holding back no
secrets.
“If Allee has a problem,
she usually comes to me
anyway,” Rhonda said. “We
are not judgmental. We just
accept our family the way
they are.”
The Nichols focus on
homemade casseroles togo, including chicken and
wild rice casserole, Rotel
chicken spaghetti casserole,
lasagna and homemade
enchiladas.
Their biggest seller, however, would definitely have
to be their homemade
chicken salad and established personal relationships with customers.
“There’s hardly anybody
who walks through the
door we don’t know,” Allee
said. “We talk to them and
keep up with what’s going
on in their lives and tell
them about ours.”
Rhonda has always seen
the value in having quality
food and customer service
to compete with restaurant
chains.
“I’m pretty much obses-

you try to (keep business in the office), it’s practically impossible,”
Stephanie said. “With this job, you
can’t leave here because you always
have your phone. If everybody would
leave at 8 in the morning, it’d be different, but it’s 24/7. It’s hard to have a
home life when you have that.”
With a growing and consistent
staff, the couple is able to balance
home and work life better.
The two also balance each other
out.
“Randy is more laid back. He can
deal with things a lot better when
there is a crisis,” Stephanie said. “He’s
more calm.”
Randy began taking an approach
of knowing the mechanical side of
the bus business. Stephanie’s accounting degree came in handy
when starting ACR Coach.
“We do things together,” Randy
said. “Steph has done more of the financial and accounting part of it.
That’s what makes us mesh together.”
Beginning as a family business,
Stephanie said she hopes she can extend the businesses to her children,
specifically her boys. Her daughter
sive about what goes out,
and I’m teaching Allee to be
obsessive about it,” she
said. “If you don’t have your
customers, you don’t have
anybody. You’re not just a
customer to us. Even customers who come in are
family.”
THE NEXT NICHOLS
With the demand of the
catering business, the family works overtime to get
everything finished.
During this holiday season, the family cooked up
dinners for teachers on
their last day of school, a
basketball team luncheon,
a Rotary Christmas dinner,
weddings, receptions – the
list goes on.
“My husband has always
had another job, but without his support, there’s no
plans to get a degree in the medical
field.
Their 16-year-old son, Codie, helps
clean the buses and drives the equipment truck during MSU football
trips.
If his mother had to give him any
advice if he were to take on the business, she would tell him to make sure
he had a trustworthy staff.
“You cannot do this alone, and nobody will do it the way you want
them do it, but you have to be able to
accept their way of doing things and
mesh that together with your vision,”
Stephanie said. “That took us 18
years for us to figure out. It’s helped
our morale and have a new vision for
the company.”
Randy would like to see different
ACR Coach branches in different
cities.
The company began expanding to
Memphis a year ago with ACR Transportation Services. The company
houses 21 school buses used to
transport children in charter schools.
Stephanie said she didn’t want the
company to be so large and become
a corporation.
“I like the family sense in that he
and I are able to have the staff under
us and still be a vital part,” she said.

way I could have done what
we do here,” Rhonda said.
“Without Allee coming here
to help me, there’s no way
we can accomplish what we
do now without her.”
Allee’s success in the
business has led her grandparents to consider passing
the business down to her in
the future.
She graduated from culinary school at Northeast
Community College with a
degree with hotel and
restaurant management.
She had already been working at her grandparent’s deli
for five years, so she taught
her peers along the way.
“You get a different perspective
with
Allee,”
Rhonda said. “I could teach
her things, but she could always teach me some
things.”

benefits of a family business.
Countless small companies
would never have survived
without the hard work and energy of dedicated family members.
Qualified
family
members can be a great asset
to your business. But avoid favoritism. Pay scales, promotions,
work
schedules,
criticism and praise should be
evenhanded between family
and non-family employees.
Allee has seen her grandparent’s business grow
tremendously.
“One of the things that’s
most exciting to me is having the customer come in
and say what a great job
(my grandmother) did and
brag about,” she said.
“Every time I tell somebody
my last name, they are like,
‘So you know Rhonda?’”
She’s nervous about taking on the business but
mainly excited. Someone
once told her she had big
shoes to fill.
Her grandmother’s advice to her is to always remain consistent in her
work.
“If you’re not consistent,
they’re going to say, ‘Yours
is not as good as
Rhonda’s,’” she said with a
laugh.
Don’t set standards higher or
lower for family members
than for others.
PUT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS
IN WRITING. It’s easy for family
members to be drawn into a
business startup without a
plan for what they will get out
of the business relationship.
To avoid hard feelings or miscommunication, put something in writing that defines
compensation,
ownership
shares, duties and other matters.
SEEK OUTSIDE ADVICE. The decision-making process for
growing a family business can
“They’ll probably say
that anyway,” Allee responded.
But her grandmother has
no doubts about Allee’s
work.
She said she couldn’t
imagine clocking in 8 to 5 at
a business where she didn’t
know the employees.
“Trust me, even with
hard work we do here,
there’s nothing on this
earth that I’d rather do,”
Rhonda said. “And the fact
that I have my granddaughter with me, it’s even
better. It’s the icing on the
cake.”
To which Allee responded with a smile,
“You’re going to make me
cry.”

sometimes be too closed.
Seeking guidance from outside advisors who are not affiliated with any family
members can be a good way
to give the business a reality
check.
DEVELOP A SUCCESSION PLAN.
A family business without a
formal succession plan is asking for trouble. The plan
should spell out the details of
how and when the torch will
be passed to a younger generation. It needs to be a financially sound plan for the
business, as well as retiring
family members.
Public comment sought on solar power agreement
BUSINESS JOURNAL REPORTS
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The
Tennessee Valley Authority is
seeking public input on its
draft Environmental Assessment of a proposed power
purchase agreement with a
solar generating facility in
Madison County, Tennessee.
TVA has tentatively approved an agreement to purchase the electricity generated
by Silicon Ranch Corporation’s
proposed 20-megawatt Providence Solar Center for up to
20 years, pending the outcome of the assessment. The
solar project, currently scheduled for completion in late
2016, would occupy about 118
acres located near U.S. Highway 70 near the community of
Denmark about 13 miles west
of Jackson. The facility would
tie into a nearby Southwest
Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation substation.
The draft Environmental
Assessment may be viewed at
this weblink and public comments will be accepted
through Jan. 15, 2016. The
public may provide input by email at [email protected],
or by mail to Chuck Nicholson, TVA, 400 West Summit
Hill Drive, Knoxville, Tenn.,
37902-1499.
