Aaron Kennedy, founder of the Denver-based Noodles & Co., is the keynote speaker at the annual Cherry Creek Chamber luncheon that starts at noon today at the JW Marriott, 150 Clayton Lane.

Kennedy will no doubt discuss the "Eureka" moment he experienced in 1993, when he decided to start a chain of colorful, comfortable noodle joints. Since that moment, Noodles & Co. has successfully opened stores in more than a dozen states across the country. That, the company says, is why it's called "using your noodle."
