I thought this was a great story about a Greenville, South Carolina, special education student starting a coffee shop in his school:
Jarvis Rogers said he saw the need for the coffee shop and, in just two weeks, built the Ground Floor. … Rogers is in Special Ed, Greenville High School’s occupational diploma program.
The full-service Ground Floor shop is the most popular spot in the Greenville High School cafeteria.
“The corporate sponsor is Liquid Highway, who donated the cash registers and all of the coffee-making equipment,” Beth Brotherton said. “And, get this, in their first week in business, this was the highest-grossing Liquid Highway location in Greenville.”
The part I really love is that Jarvis Rogers, and the other students, researched the business, developed a business plan, got a sponsor. These students really did the work to get this business off the ground (no pun intended).
I love entrepreneurs!
