The Aggie Stable began operations during the 2015-2016 school year, focusing on merchandise sales of t-shirts. It has now grown to offer shirts, hoodies, hats, backpacks, lanyards, etc. We have two elective classes, Customer Assistance I and Customer Assistance II, allowing students to learn more about business and help work in the store itself. Currently, we have about 170 students enrolled in both classes.
Both Customer Assistance I and II students learn the daily operations of The Aggie Stable, and help sell merchandise during the day. On Fridays, we are in the cafeteria during all lunches to sell, so this gives them a greater understanding of customer service, cash transactions and communication skills.
The course is designed to build upon the experiences each student obtains by helping with The Aggie Stable. Emphasis is placed on working in the school store, but also the fundamental core of knowledge, skills, and attitudes required for today's business environment.
