"The Bun Lady" Gets A Surprise Visit From The President; Author Shares Her Inspiring Story On Amazon.com

July 19, 2007- Nashville, TN

President George W. Bush made a trip to Nashville, Tennessee today to discuss his budget measures and to pay a visit to "The Bun Lady."

"The Bun Lady" is Cordia Harrington, founder and CEO of The Bun Companies, suppliers of buns to McDonald's franchises in most of the Southeast. Hers is arguably the fastest bakery in the country, churning out 60,000 buns per hour. To say business is on the rise would be an understatement. Since launching The Tennessee Bun Co. in 1997, Harrington has increased her customer list to include McDonald's, Chili's, and Pepperidge Farms. She recently inked a deal to supply dough to O'Charley's restaurant franchises.

But long before she was "The Bun Lady," Harrington was struggling to keep her life together and raise three boys on her own. Her triumph over trails and tribulation is the focus of the Amazon Short titled, "The Bun Also Rises," found online at the author's website (www.rodneyjmoore.com). Find out what drew President Bush to this unassuming operation and its founder, "The Bun Lady."
