The Bear-y Sweet Shoppe opened in January of 2015 by four Sophomores who challenged the space for student-run businesses at WashU. As the first food business ever opened on campus, the Bear-y Sweet Shoppe has given its owners the opportunity to push boundaries and try things that have never been done by students at WashU before. As part of the Student Entrepreneurship Program, the Bear-y Sweet Shoppe owners sell their shares of the company to underclassmen, so the business will always be owned and operated by students, for students! Working on a team that is constantly changing gives us the chance to bring in fresh perspectives, new ideas, (and more and more candy) every year - and we love every minute of it!

Bear-y Sweet Shoppe has been apart of various events within Washington University's campus, bringing a sweet treat to thousands of students on campus. With this the shop has generated over $100,000 in revenue, satisfying many customers and their families. The shops current owners include Melina Motwani, Olivia Dobrenko, Katie Chan, and Kyle Puckett. All owners run in store and online operations. If you are interested in being a potential owner reach out to one of the current owners during their senior year! |
