Most students go to the Roar Store every day, but do you ever stop to question what happens behind the scenes, which items are the most popular, or details of how merchandise is restocked? We talked to Mrs. Beck, a Roar Store employee, to answer these questions and more.
What is the most bought snack? Jolly Rancher Chews and Nerds Gummy Clusters.
What is the least bought snack? Payday candy bar.
What is the most snacks bought at once? 12 snacks — the student was making a “snack locker.”
What is the average spending amount? $3-5 a day.
What is the maximum amount a student has spent at once? $27 in one day — the student came in between every period and at lunch.
Is there a specific rush hour? During lunches, in between periods, and after school.
Who designs shirts? Mrs. Brennan.
Where do the snacks come from? Sam’s Club or Amazon.
What’s the weirdest thing a student has ever asked for? A toothbrush.
What’s the funniest interaction you’ve had with a student? One day, the school thought there was going to be snow/ice. To prevent slipping, they put something on the floor, but it did not end up snowing. The solution on the floor made many students slip all day long instead.
Other crazy stories? Often students come in asking for pants after splitting theirs.
So the next time you go to buy your Jolly Rancher Chews or make a snack locker, take a moment to appreciate everything that happens behind the scenes. From pants replacements to toothbrush needs, the Roar Store does it all.
