School Store

A group of middle school students, under the direction of Mrs. Niebauer, are developing a business plan for a school store.  The targeted date for the store to open is the first week of November.  These students are currently conducting preliminary research prior to opening the store, including:

• Developing a market research survey to determine products and price points that will appeal to our students and school community
• Researching vendors to provide these products
• Conducting cost-benefit analysis of locally-sourced products vs. outside vendors
• Selection of products that will be sold in the store
• Creating a marketing and branding plan
• Naming the store
• Locating the store within the school and determining when and how often it will be open
• Preparing for the "grand opening" in November

If you have ideas or input for any of the steps related to the development of our school store, please contact us by email at hniebauer@cencam.org or csantini@cencam.org .
