Herr Foods’ President Ed Herr and Auntie Anne’s Founder Anne Beiler to Speak at South Jersey Business Expo! Local chamber brings in proven entrepreneurs to give members inspiration in light of current economic climate.

Cherry Hill, NJ – Established in 2001 with the mission to provide members the
opportunity to grow their business on biblical principles and interact with like-minded
believers, the Christian Chamber of Commerce’s Fifth Annual Marketplace Expo is
poised to do just that. On Thursday, October 16, Delaware Valley area businesses will
showcase their products, services, programs and inventions at the Quality Inn’s Grand
Versailles ballroom. Located at 531 Route 38 West, Maple Shade, NJ, the Quality Inn
has been home to the expo for the past three years and is set to open its doors to
attendees at 8:30 a.m.

Making Connections that Make the Difference, the overarching theme of this year’s
event, seeks to unite and strengthen the business community, connect businesses and
help them identify collaborative opportunities, educate business owners on marketplace
trends that will position them for growth and sustained success, and inspire struggling
entrepreneurs through a motivating keynote speech and workshops led by successful
Christian business owners.

“In light of our country’s current economic challenges, we want to remind Marketplace
leaders that God has given us the tools and resources needed to build profitable
businesses; however, we need to implement the principles He has prescribed in His
Word – the Bible. That is why we are thrilled to have two profound speakers – Ed Herr,
President of the snack food giant, Herr Foods, Inc. and Anne Beiler, founder of Auntie
Anne’s Pretzels, a company with over 950 locations. We hope their stories will encourage our members and guests,” says Angela Pipersburgh, Chamber President.
Marketplace Expo admission is FREE. However registration is encouraged and required
for the networking breakfast and workshops. To register, call the Chamber at (856) 414-0818 or visit www.christianchambercommerce.org.
