Description
CASE DESCRIPTION Dixon's Famous Chili is the oldest, continuously operating, family owned restaurant in Kansas City, Missouri. From Dixon's beginning in the early 1900's, women have played pivotal roles, including owners in three out of four generations. The societal pressures and life events that impacted these women and their families are presented to exemplify the struggles women have faced when operating a small business. The case begins and ends in the present day with the current owner facing divorce, raising three school aged children, and having no means of support except the failing family restaurant.
