Margaret McEntire, who founded Candy Bouquet International of Little Rock in 1989, has finally acquiesced to her husband’s pleas: She retired last Thursday.
Jay McEntire, her husband of nearly 30 years, turned 76 last week, McEntire told ArkansasBusiness.com. “He’s been begging me for two to three years to hang it up, and he rules the roost. At 76, I think he deserves it.”
Jim Benham, who has been chief operating officer, is the now president of the franchise company, a succession plan that has been in place for several years, McEntire said.
