It all began when
our founder received a stock certificate of Wm. Wrigley
Jr. Company as a gift.
Up until then, he
viewed stock as a way to make money through stock trading.
Trading, as the word suggests, buying and selling stocks,
so he can make some profit out of it. He never thought
about becoming a long term shareholder of some company.
But there he was, suddenly a shareholder. And with the
stock certificate, and especially it being a gift, he
didn't want to just sell it for a small profit.
So he became a shareholder.
And surprising thing was, being a shareholder was quite
nice. Actually, it gave him much more joy than he had
expected. First of all, he liked how the stock certificate
looked on his wall. It was a nice decoration as is, but
also liked the fact that the certificate proves that he
is a shareholder of that famous Wrigly! He also liked
that the company sent him Annual Report to tell him how
it was doing, and every time he bought a pack of Wrigly
gums, he felt like he was contributing to the company
that he has a share in. They even sent him a box of gums
every Christmas season!!!
He enjoyed being a
shareholder so much that he created Kabuken Cafe to
spread the joy of becoming a shareholder - the feeling
of being a part of your favorite company. So he can share
the knowledges and experiences he gained over the years
of being a shareholder.
Whether you are looking
