These students, at Pompton Lakes High School, were pitching the idea of a franchise for an ice cream shop in town.
“The competition in Pompton is Curly’s Ice Cream, and Ice Cream Station and Dunkin Donuts.”
How to research and plan for a retail franchise was part of the financial literacy course.
“There’s not any in a 10 mile radius of Pompton Lakes, so I figured if we brought one in, it would be enjoyable to the people,” student Teresa Caldarone said.
