British billionaire Branson to explore opportunities in — Branson

Billionaire British investor Sir Richard Branson's research into his family's history has led him to Branson, Missouri, and now he wants to see what the town in the Ozark Mountains has to offer.
Branson, chairman and founder of Virgin Group, said Monday in a blog post that his research revealed that the city in Stone and Taney counties was founded by his great-great-uncle and now he's "looking forward to finding out what opportunities there are for the Virgin Group in Branson — and to painting the town red."
