School Store

by Patrick Ross


Who would have thought it would have been this successful? It started from a small little fridge with almost no snacks at all, and became our own mini seven eleven. It didn’t take long for the change to occur. Kids in school love the store and began going from day one. All of the profit has helped make it what it is now. They have everything you could want in there. Chips, granola bars, cookies, coffee, vitamin water, energy drinks, waters, even clothes, you name it and they will probably have it.
It is run by the kids that are enrolled in the class Marketing. Mrs. Shultz is the teacher and she allows certain kids to run it every day. The purpose of it was not only to supply us with food and drinks, but also to teach her students more on the subject of business and marketing. Other students walk up to the fourth floor store whenever they get the chance. It is an awesome thing since they closed down the food vending machine until lunch time.
If you are ever hungry or thirsty before lunch rolls around it usually gives you a place to go because it is almost always open. Honestly it is even a place to hang out for a few minutes if you want a break from class. This is because it is our friends running the store and it’s a good sized room to hang for a little bit before going back to class. The school store even offers Pembroke titans clothing. Bottom line, the school store was a complete success. It is now a favorite spot for all students to go and get some grub. I doubt anyone though it would be as big as it is today.

Almost an intriguing lede.
Stop talking in 2nd person pov. "You" is not ME.

"I doubt anyone though it would be as big as it is today." - '...thoughT..."?

So... what is the issue you are commenting on? Yup, the store is selling a lot of chips and cookies, but what is the social issue being examined? Commercial enterprises have no place in a public school? Too much (not enough) food is being sold int he store? What issue are you commenting on?
