During his recent birthday celebration, he told his dedicated employees that <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/03/02/man-gives-company-to-empl_n_482706.html">he's passing the torch and ownership of his multimillion dollar business to them</a>." "[H]is 209 employees <a href="http://www.oregonlive.com/clackamascounty/index.ssf/2010/02/bobs_red_mill_natural_foods_ro.html">now own the place </a>and its 400 offerings of stone-ground flours, cereals and bread mixes." "<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/WN/owner-multi-million-dollar-company-hands-business-employees/story?id=9875038">Moore said </a>he's gotten countless buy-out offers over the years, but he couldn't envision selling the business to a stranger....'I don't think there's anybody worthy to run this company but the people who built it. I have employees with me right now that have been with me for 30 years. They just were committed to staying with me now and they're going to own the company.'" tag:metafilter.com,2010:site.89702 Tue, 02 Mar 2010 14:45:20 -0800 BobMoore Bob'sRedMillNaturalFoods ESOP MilwaukieOregon Moore'sFlourMill NaturalFoods NaturalFoodsCompany Oregon ReddingCalifornia ericb
