How students learn here

The app teaches store building in the same order real owners use.

1. Choose

Pick a product students care about like stickers, snacks, shirts, or crafts.

2. Price

Compare what it costs to make the item with what customers will pay.

3. Track

Watch revenue, COGS, gross profit, expenses, and net profit update instantly.

4. Grow

Use a quiz and glossary to turn business words into real understanding.

Mission path

Four missions take students from idea to opening day.

01

Name your store and pick a customer

Students decide who they want to help: classmates, parents, sports fans, pet owners, or neighbors. This makes every later decision easier.

  • What does your store sell?
  • Who would want to buy it?
  • Why is it useful or fun?
02

Figure out your cost and price

Students learn that COGS means the cost of goods sold, or what it costs to buy or make each item before it reaches the customer.

  • How much does one item cost to make?
  • What price feels fair to customers?
  • Are you earning enough above the cost?
03

Track store math like a boss

Students test how many products they need to sell and how monthly costs like packaging, website fees, or flyers affect their money.

  • Revenue = money coming in
  • Gross profit = revenue minus COGS
  • Net profit = what is left after all expenses
04

Launch, learn, and improve

Students use their results to make smart decisions: raise the price, lower the cost, sell more units, or trim expenses to keep the store healthy.

  • What change helps the business most?
  • What should you test next month?
  • How do you keep customers coming back?
