Layton Hills Mall has selected its 4th Annual KIDZ BIZ participants!
More than 20 new youth businesses.
Layton, UT (August 2, 2018) Layton Hills Mall has selected over 35 businesses and 90 youth participants to take part in the 4th Annual KIDZ BIZ event. KIDZ BIZ is a program that encourage young entrepreneurs between the ages of 6 and 17 to learn about business practices, sales, and financial responsibility while running their own company for one day in the Layton Hills Mall. In addition, prizes are awarded for various categories and participants keep all the money they earn to invest back into their business venture.
“Seeing the number of applicants grow every year, and the new ideas these kids bring to the table is just amazing.” says Danielle Bendinelli, Layton Hills Mall Marketing Director. “KIDZ BIZ businesses must have minimal to no parental involvement, so the best part is the youth are the creative force behind their own concepts. From handmade art and craft items to educational hobbies or even designing original board games, the program offers an outlet to a wide variety or interests.”
The KIDZ BIZ market day will be held Saturday, August 18, 2018 from 12p to 5p on the lower level by Dillard’s. This is the perfect time for children to test out their concepts, sales skills and see if their business model will work. The event will conclude with an awards ceremony at 5:30pm.
The KIDZ BIZ market day is open to all ages and the public is encouraged to attend and shop to show support for these young, local entrepreneurs. A big thanks to the following community partners: America First Credit Union, Davis Hospital and Medical Center, Ed Kenley Ford, Utah Educational Savings Plan, SeaQuest Interactive Aquarium, Silly Rabbit Shirts, Weber State University, and Davis Education Foundation.
