Gorski, Owner/President, Bristol Shop ‘n Save, just completed a guest speaking presentation to Lakes Region Community College’s (LRCC) Small Business Management class on Tuesday evening, March 2. While speaking, Gorski discussed how he came to own an independent Hannaford store after a 25-year career with the Company. Gorski’s final position, before purchasing the former Cricenti’s Market, was District Manager where he was responsible for the total operations of ten large Hannaford Brothers stores in New York.

"Greg spoke to the class about aspects of building an extremely successful business for himself," says Dion, DSD and Scan File Coordinator for the Bristol Shop ‘n Save, a member of the class as well. "He mentioned things learned along the way that would have been good to have known before. Hearing about important aspects of business operations from someone with Mr. Gorski’s experience is good to keep in the back of one’s mind as he/she pursues business endeavors."

Dion eventually desires to own her own business providing custom favors, decorations, and specialty wedding related items for central New Hamphsire. She is graduating from LRCC in May with an Accounting Degree and a Business Management Certificate.
