Store
For many FBLA chapters, business
leadership starts within their own
schools by running the school store.
Recently, advisers have shown interest
in the topic by crowdsourcing ideas for
FBLA school stores in the Leadership
Community. Two of our most successful
FBLA chapter school stores share their
ideas about their operations.

" Our Top Five Things about Running
a Successful Store "
Welcome to the Wrangler Store, operated in the middle
of the cafeteria of our 1,500-student magnet high school!
We are the only store on campus, and we serve our
community during two 30-minute lunch periods every day.
What makes us so successful? It's a lot of teamwork and
coordination between stakeholders. Here are some of our
best suggestions for your school:
1. Hire the " professionals " - Seniors in our Business
Management program apply during their junior year
to be Student Store Managers. Those accepted into the
| 30 | TOMORROW'S BUSINESS LEADER
program use this internship as their Capstone project.
They oversee all aspects of the store-from ordering
to maintaining inventory to money management to
security. The juniors in Marketing class are their unpaid
employees. The juniors work the cash registers and fill
orders during the two lunch periods. Marketing class
is scheduled during the lunch periods on purpose to
make it easier for them to rotate working.
2. Stock the store properly - We are required to use a
certain vendor for all of our products, which minimizes
ordering and stocking problems, since the inventory is
delivered regularly. We make sure that all products are
of good quality (all name brand products) and meet
our school district requirements. It is important to give
your customers the best quality products to have the
best chance of happy and returning customers. To
supplement our store offerings, we sell hot and fresh
pizza every day, which is delivered by a local pizza
shop, as well as selling subs on Thursdays. Having the
