Honey Bun Ltd.

Michelle Chong is a co-owner with her husband of Honey Bun Bakery, located in Kingston, Jamaica. Some years ago Jamaica ran into a terrible situation. There was a significant currency devaluation and interest rates were significantly higher than almost anywhere in the world. The rates went from 6% to 20% to borrow money. As a result the rental on the retail outlets from where they operated increased by almost 500 percent. They ran into a very bad situation because it became almost impossible to cover the rent at that time as well as cover the expenses in their two retail operations. So their challenge was what to do given that situation. Visit casenet.ca for more free, open access decision focused video teaching cases from Acadia University.
