FAU Greek Opens Boca Greek Store

If you are involved in Greek Life at FAU you are likely familiar with how inconvenient it is to drive down to the very bottom of Miami just to buy your "Greek Life items", but your only other option is to buy online. Most students in Greek life buy shirts, make paddles, and decorate their cars and rooms in all sorts of paraphernalia. FAU senior Business Management major, Jacob Guerra recognized this niche and is now the owner of his own business, GO GREEK.

According to Guerra, "The GO GREEK store will provide an assortment of Greek Life items previously unavailable in this location combined with competitive price and conveniently located near FAU's campus." The store will offer big/little paddles, jerseys of all kinds, general apparel, birthday and graduation presents, screen-printing and embroidery services to all student clubs and even local organizations.

Guerra has had previous experience in managing a profitable start-up company and stressed that he prides himself on making ethical and efficient business decisions. He told me, "throughout my time at FAU I have become widely known in the Greek community and believe I have developed into a dedicated entrepreneur."

This ambitious plan has made it to the final round of FAU's 2010 Business Plan Competition. He will be displaying his plan for the final round on April 16 for a chance to win $60,000 or more. The store is expected to open on August 1, 2010.
