Product Description
Abstract
In the early 1970’s, Zen Power and Kerry Warbucks III began selling ice cream out of Kerry’s Volkswagen Bus under the label “New Hampshire’s Finest - Zen & Kerry’s - All Natural Ice Cream.” Combining Zen’s intuitive taste and knack for mixing unusual flavors with Kerry’s business savvy and marketing skill, the duo’s trunk-based operation rapidly blossomed into a respectable small business. Zen and Kerry each own half of the company's common stock. Now, decades later, Zen has decided that he would like to separate from Zen & Kerry's. Lawyers for Zen and Kerry must negotiate the purchase of Zen's stock.
