New school year means new snacks, and luckily enough, the Raider Store opened recently with new items for everyone to enjoy during the year.
Business teacher, Mr. Andrew Weigold, is in charge of the Raider Store once again, and has made many modifications to this year’s menu.
“We have antioxidant drinks, flavored sparkling water, and fruit smoothies. We also have Sun Chips, veggie straws, and crackers. I think we are going to be successful by adding these new options,” Mr. Weigold said.
These all sound like delicious options for those who are visiting the raider store for the first time and don’t know what to choose.
Lots of options however could mean a difficult decision for those who aren’t very sure on what they want. Their heads go from a savory bag of freshly popped pop corn to an iced coffee.
Freshman student and frequent Raider Corner visitor, Zee McCloskey, shared her favorite item to purchase from the raider store.
“My favorite thing to purchase from the Raider Corner is iced coffee because it tastes good and wakes me up,” Zee said.
A nice iced coffee sounds great, especially for people who are tired in the morning, but, with such great options comes challenges.
“Training the staff, notifying students of the store, and promoting new products and deals,” Mr. Weigold says can be challenging at the beginning of the school year.
That sounds challenging but determination will help the pull through, but what do students think should be back on the menu?
“I would recommend bringing back Alanis because they aren’t really bad as some teachers say and everyone probably misses Alanis.” Zee said.
The loss of energy drinks sparked criticism due to the amount of students interested in the energy drink and struggle to find different alternatives.
Though the challenges for the opening of the Raider Corner may seem difficult, rest assured that whenever you need a nice cup of iced coffee, they’ll be there.
