School Spirit Store
Run the spirit-wear store for a school district: hoodies, team gear and supplies, against the big-box store's aisle of generic gear and online print shops. Choose designs, order stock, and sell out before homecoming.
Your student business has the district's blessing to sell spirit wear and supplies for one high school and two middle schools. The big-box store down the road sells cheap generic gear in school colours; online print shops let any parent make a shirt; the booster club runs a table at games. The decisions: what to charge for a hoodie when the big-box version is $25, how much stock to order before homecoming and how much to risk being left with, whether to win team and club orders or individual students, and how many people to staff the store and the game-night table. It teaches retail basics a class can run — margin, stock, timing around the school calendar — against competitors who are bigger and cheaper but not the school's own.
