Abstract:

Roxanne Quimby and Burt Shavitz started Burt's Bees Maine, transforming a roadside honey stand into a multimillion dollar business. In 1994, the company moved to Creedmoor. The founders have since gone their separate ways, and the Clorox Company purchased the business three years ago for $925 million. The company expects to gross $250 million in 2010.
