Students open up shop on campus for business class

The students from the Business 205 and Business 206 entrepreneurship classes have set out to start their own businesses.

They have two quarters in which they are to create a business, run the business and shut down the business. According to Juergen Kneifel, the instructor of the business classes, there are 12 students divided into three groups. Each group must create their own business and get a loan so that they actually have money to buy materials for their businesses.

One of these student-run businesses is Classnax; the amount of money they took out for their loan was $850, which they spent on the food they were going to sell, drinks, cleaning supplies and for a wagon as well.

Classnax was created and organized by Hali Hartsock, Kay Caulfield, Josh Reyes, and Jon Uhl, EvCC students in the business classes. Classnax offers several snacks, breakfast, and lunch combinations that cost $5 apiece.

Hartsock wanted it made clear that they "have $5 snack packs that come with drinks, and a dollar store where you can buy items separately. We love to talk, so anyone is welcome to come by our table when we're out selling!"

At the end of the spring quarter, all three businesses will shut down, and most of the money they have made will go into paying back their loans they had taken out in the beginning. The rest of the money will go back into the college for the School of Business Design which helps the future entrepreneurs with their businesses.
