Mr. President, today, I rise in honor of National Small Business Month to recognize North Carolina's 1.1 million small businesses that drive our State's growing workforce and thriving economy across all 100 counties. There is no doubt that our State's small businesses are the reason for North Carolina's ranking as the No. 1 state in the country for doing business. Making up a significant percentage of all businesses across our great State, North Carolina's small businesses represent the very best of American ingenuity, resilience, and determination.
and sacrifices that come with keeping a business on its feet. This National Small Business Month, I want to recognize one of North Carolina's leading small businesses, Mother Murphy's Flavors, a three- generation-owned-and-operated business based in Greensboro, NC. This year, Mother Murphy's Flavors celebrates its 80th year in business, crafting high-quality flavors for food and beverages. The company currently employs over 150 North Carolinians and, over the years, has grown its international footprint, now shipping products to over 30 countries worldwide.
Sr., and Dr. Richard Stelling in 1946 has become an internationally recognized company with a steadfast commitment to enhancing the food and beverage industry by creating flavor solutions with quality ingredients that customers can rely on.
for global food corporations and specialty beverage manufacturers, Mother Murphy's Flavors is a testament to what vision, grit, and craftsmanship can build. Over eight decades, this small business with humble beginnings has grown into a multigenerational success, proving that small business excellence, when passed down with care, becomes a legacy that endures.
