The Creation of Poppin' Flavorz

---

Poppin' Flavorz was created by Spencer Soleiman, who at the time, was just thirteen years old! As a young child, Spencer would spend hours in his basement creating very elaborate pretend businesses. He would create all types of businesses, restaurants and stores. By the time he was eight years old he was working at the little league concession stand in his town. He worked there for five years and as the years went by he had the added responsibility of inventory and training new employees. He also created Spencer's Super Cool Lemonade and Cookie Cart and was a vendor for many years at his town's annual SummerFest event. At age thirteen Spencer was accepted into the Young Entrepreneur Academy (YEA) in his area. YEA is an intense 30 week program where students generate business ideas, conduct market research, write business plans, pitch to a panel of investors and launch their very own companies! Spencer's love of chewing gum turned into the unique business idea of Poppin' Flavorz Gourmet Gumballs!
