Remember Keenan Shaw, the Canadian high school
student
suspended for selling full sugar Pepsi from his locker, in
defiance of Winston Churchill High School’s diet soda–only policy?
Shaw has now
taken his enterprise to the streets.
Showing the agility of a born entrepreneur, Shaw notes that the
publicity from his suspension was good for business:
“It got me a lot more advertising,” Shaw said about the
effect the publicity had on his sales. “I feel like everyone
knows about it now.”
He’s also taking advantage of the technicalities of the law to
minimize his operating expenses:
“I can store it at school. I can bring it to school. I can
drink it at school. I just can’t sell it (at school.)”
And as for potential compeitors, Shaw says to bring it on:
Shaw said a few kids at school have even joked they might
jump into the pop business, too, but so far he doesn’t have
any competitors.“I’ve told people go ahead, I don’t care,” he said, noting he
could expand into other treats.“There’s definitely other things I could make money on besides
pop.”
