See Teen Biz Shops in Action!

Teen Biz Shops are our dynamic award-winning pop-up and retail experiences in bustling malls and high-traffic stores! We launched our first retail store, formerly known as "Trail Blaze," at The Galleria in Houston, Texas in 2019. Over the past six years, we've expanded to six retail pop-up shops in Dallas and Houston and partnered with the second-largest retail mall owner worldwide to grow nationally!

Our retail stores and pop-up shops equip youth with essential customer service and social skills vital for thriving in the 21st-century economy. Here’s a glimpse at the skills youth develop through our retail experience:

• Communication Skills

• Active Listening

• Business Etiquette

• Emotional Intelligence

• Sales & Negotiation Strategies

• Sales Psychology

• Kindness & Empathy

Additionally, we're a US Department of Labor-approved apprenticeship program for Store Management and Customer Service Representatives, offering paid work experience opportunities for youth aged 14-24. We not only prepare youth to manage their own retail stores or shops, but also qualify them for top Store Management positions with retailers nationwide.
