Entrepreneur Hub
The Entrepreneur Hub gives employees an opportunity to launch a NEW business in JA BizTown. Employees will open a clothing store, but will need to find out from BizTown Citizens what type of apparel (clothing) they are most interested in buying; business clothing, outdoor clothing, or fun/playful clothing. Entrepreneur Hub manufactures branded caps, mugs, socks, and other items based on the wants/needs of BizTown. Employees also produce their own branding (name, slogan, logo) using computer apps. Citizens who choose to invest in their new business start-up could win an official JA BizTown branded cap!
