FARMINGTON - The Center for Entrepreneurial Studies storefront officially opened at 156 Main Street this morning; the cooperative store will focus on selling gift items, as well as student-made items.
CES was founded by Bonita Lehigh, who formerly taught business classes at Foster Center and Technical Education Center in Regional School Unit 9. The non-profit aims to support young entrepreneurs in their business goals through mentoring and hands on experience. The storefront will give students and recent graduates an opportunity to earn money, by working in the store, selling their products, or pretty much any other avenue they can think of.
