The three businesses that are part of Warrior Enterprises presented on their work during the first semester. The three business are Warrior Manufacturing, Warrior Concessions and the Spirit Spot. The admin team and board members, acting as the board of directors, learned about their revenue and expenditures, the challenges they faced and what they've learned so far.
