One business was selected from each of the students in the class that the BANK felt was viable. Before you vote, make sure you read the following summaries. The BANK may have changed the description slightly so that the business will be unique and successful!

BUSINESS DESCRIPTIONS:

1. VAPOR GALLERIA - (B. Alegria):

Smokers who want to use the newest trend in the industry known as "Vaping". Vaping liquid can be purchased in non-nicotine and nicotine. Banks Comments: This small business is excellent but lacks a theme. If it is selected the team will have to come up with a theme to attract customers.

2. BOBA TEA HOUSE - (Paula de Guzman):

This tea house would specialize in tea. This business also lacks a theme to attract customers. The bank recommends a traditional English tea house. 

3. ORGANIC FOOD MINI-MARKET (Belma Duemic):

This business idea has great promise because organic foods are very hot in the public eye right now!

4. PIZZA ON WHEELS (Rafael Guzman):

This is a mobile pizza idea - similar to a food truck. The bank suggest that this business would benefit from specializing in unique pizza combinations to be successful.

5. FUNNEL CAKE FOOD TRUCK (Monique Heal):

The bank likes this business idea because it is original and viable. The owner would offer a variety of toppings.

6. LANDSCAPE DESIGN (Nahd Ishaq):

This idea is already common in the marketplace. However, the bank recommends that the owner specialize in a style of Landscaping such as Japanese. 

7. RECYCLED CLOTHING STORE (Richard Koenig): 

The bank liked the owners original idea that donates half the profits to charities supporting third world countries. The bank recommends some modifications. The store should sell recycled clothing or clothing products made out of recycled goods. 

8. EXOTIC PET STORE (David Kozin):

This is an interesting idea. If you pick this business you will have to research current laws regarding exotic pets. 

9. JEWELRY STORE - RECYCLED MATERIALS (Kristina L):

This is a good idea and the bank recommends that the jewelry be made out of recycled materials in order to be unique and succeed.

10. GLUTEN AND SUGAR FREE CUPCAKE STORE (Mikki Marvelle):

This is a good idea. The bank suggests that your team put a unique spin on this idea in order to attract customers!

11. PHOTOGRAPHY SCHOOL FOR TEENS (Lizet Medina):

This is a good idea as long it also teachers digital resources along with photography techniques. 

12. T-SHIRT DESIGN & ACCESSORIES (Muhammad S.):

There are many of these types of businesses on the Internet, so this business will depend on marketing strategies and maybe will need to specialize in designs.

13. PURRRRFECT COFFEE (Courtney Naturale):

This unique coffee house focuses on a cat theme. This is a good idea and the owner may consider clothing and pet items for cats as well. This coffee house allows you to relax in an atmosphere that caters to cats!

14. SKATE/DONUT SHOP (Jake O;Brien);

This idea is very cool because skaters like snacks! The bank suggests you decorate your donuts like skateboards or shoes or skate related things. Make the decorations wild. A company in Seattle, WA did this with a VooDoo theme and they are off the chart successful now! 

15. BAKED POTATO BAR (Lorraine ODell):

This idea is great especially as a food truck or food court venture. The bank recommends some unique toppings and a theme to market to people. 

16.  DRIVE THRU SMOKE SHOP (Trey Osbourne):

This is an excellent idea! The only suggestion the bank has is that you have a theme to hook your customers. 

17. HOT DOG STORE (Lwassa Perlee):

This is a great idea! There are only a few places in Sacramento so this idea rocks! Check out how well "Pinks" Hot Dogs did in L.A. (They are now in Vegas too!) Again, the bank recommends a theme to hook customers. 

18. HAITIAN FAST FOOD (Rafael R.):

This idea is also great as a food truck idea. People love multicultural food! 

19. SENIOR ERRAND SERVICES (Angelika):

This idea is an extremely viable idea per the Bank! It is definitely needed! 

20. ONLINE $1 STORE (Valentyn S.):

This idea has been done, but you can specialize in a certain type of product. Be unique!

21. EXOTIC PLANTS (John Sprock):

This is a great idea! The bank recommends putting a theme on your company like Dinosaurs. I will explain further! 

22. CANDYLAND CANDY SHOP (Kennaea Swigert):

This owner plans to offer a selection of brightly colored candies and everything will be made from scratch! The bank loves this idea but suggests that the owner consider a alternative theme like "World Candies" offering a selection of candies from around the world or specific countries. 

23. COFFEE HOUSE (Aleksandra Tarasova):

Good idea. The bank loves Temple Coffee. Expand the idea to be more original. 

24. DRONE RENTAL/REPAIR (Kyler Teske):

This is an excellent idea! Cutting edge technology that screams entrepreneurship!

25. CUPCAKE TRUCK (Jaliah Vallare):

This is a great idea but make sure you put a unique spin on your product to attract customers. 

26. SMALL PET CLOTHING STORE (Jennifer Vasquez):

This is an excellent idea! Keep it fresh and unique! You may want to consider a mobile truck too!

27. CHIMNEY SWEEP (Justin Williams):

This is a business that is actually in demand. Put a unique spin on it to attract customers.

28. MAKE-UP GET READY WITH DAISY (De'Ajane Henderson):
This is a professional stylist business - people who need their hair/make-up/wardrobe done for them. This woman has style! Watch out for this hot business!

29. R.A.P. (Rent of Puppy Dating Service) (Kevin Rainbolt):
Okay ladies watch out! LOL This owner has an idea that just might work! This dating service allows the average man to rent of puppy and use it to try and get a date! Know that is true entrepreneurship! LOL
