The Roar Store is a school-based enterprise used as a hands-on laboratory experience for the Marketing Program at the State College Area High School. Planning for the Roar Store began in the 2000-2001 school year with the objective of opening a physical location in January 2001. The initial 17 students essentially designed the store from the ground up. They collaborated to design and implement the business plan as well as designed promotional displays, met with vendors, ordered and priced products, and develop a mission statement to guide the progress of the store.
The Roar Store Mission Statement The Roar Store is a School Based Enterprise operated by the Entrepreneurship, Growing a Business, and E-Business students. The Roar Store was established to give these students hands-on experience in a real world business setting, as well as allow students the opportunity to manage the profits and losses of a business. Each year our main task is to allow our store to grow and prosper by setting the bar higher for next year.
