Q: I'm in a business class where part of our grade is to run the school store. We do it during lunch periods, so we can't sell food because we aren't allowed to "compete with the cafeteria" as our principal says.
So far, we've come up with paper notebooks, pens, pencils, cheap nailpolish, index cards, and cap erasers. We give away paw-print stickers with every purchase (our mascot is a bulldog). We can't sell school-spirit items because that's what our student council/leadership committee does... it's their territory. Other than food and school-spirit items, we can sell anything.
Other ideas I've come up with but have yet to tell my teacher:
Mini handsanatizer, tissues, 5-stick packs of gum (people are ALWAYS asking me for those).
I guess I'm asking is other suggestions. If you have a school store, what items sell the most? If you don't - what would you buy if you did?
At the end of the semester, we're donating our profits to Habitat for Humanity (each year our school chooses a cause and any money we raise goes to it).
