Jack Horner is a fictitious millionaire that wants to return to his Texas roots after a 30-year hiatus, but he has no desire to retire. He is actively looking for a business interest that would provide both an opportunity to return to Texas and a daily challenge to grow and prosper in the community. A chance encounter puts him in touch with the owners of Tiny's Tiny Pies and he is now weighing the opportunity to partner with these entrepreneurs. The case is examined from Jack's viewpoint that he has an opportunity to partner with the current owners, or possibly buy them out altogether. Jack is on a four hour flight from Austin to San Francisco as he reviews basic information about Tiny Pies, the pie industry, and other factors relevant to the investment decision.
