TOPEKA
– Garth Einsel, Greensburg, and Luke Einsel, Topeka, will present their
Washburn Transformational Experience (WTE), which was to create a business plan
for a company entitled “Nutty Monkey, Inc.” at Noon at the Mabee Library,
Washburn University. Their idea for Nutty Monkey is a culturally rich
bakery/coffee shop. Nutty Monkey would provide specialty baked items and
healthy food options. As a result of the WTE process, including feedback from
some of the state's most talented entrepreneurs, the Garth and Luke plan to launch
their business in Overland Park later this summer.
Garth and Luke spent the semester developing and refining their Nutty Monkey
Inc. business plan and took their plan to the "Sweet Sixteen" at
Wichita State University's annual Shocker Business Plan Competition, a highly
competitive and growing state-wide competition that attracts both undergraduate
and graduate students from across universities and across disciplines.
Luke Einsel is majoring in English and Garth Einsel is majoring in chemistry.
