Teen Entrepreneur Opens Sno-Ball Stand
Katie Neighoff is a busy entrepreneur and the owner of a new business in Galesville, the “Sno Shak.” At the Shak, she sells 24 regular and diet flavors of sno-balls. Katie, who is a student at Anne Arundel Community College, came up with the idea for a sno-ball stand about two years ago when the Galesville Market closed down. The market was the only place in town that sold ice cream. Both Galesville residents and boaters who were in the village on weekends frequented the market.
Katie said that she wanted to open the Shak last year, but couldn’t get her act together in time to make it happen. Katie bought a pre-fabricated shed at Home Depot, which required assembly and painting. The adults assembled the shed, then Katie selected the colors – a salmon-hued pink with aqua trim – and painted it. The Sno Shak had its grand opening last Friday.
By Saturday evening Katie already had some regulars. One of them is a boy named Brian, who was her first frequent buyer.
