An entirely ONU student-run business has been successful, both financially and as a learning experience. Ada High School grad Lindsay Walden is one of the 11 members of the company, which had sales of $65,000 last year.
Company associates are looking to expand their sales territory beyond campus by encouraging local companies and service organizations to buy from them.
The company, named Polar Merchandise, offers t-shirts, key chains, cups, frisbees, and more. In fact, they have access to hundreds of thousands of promotional products and apparel.
