Teens name businesses 'Youth Friendly'
The Bicycle Shop: The Bicycle Shop will receive a Youth Friendly Business award at the Chamber of Commerce Luncheon on April 28.
American teens are big spenders. Youth spend an average of $103 weekly. That's about $175 billion a year.
Spirit of Youth honors businesses that know how valuable their youth customers are. With their Youth Friendly Business program, the Spirit of Youth Teen Action Council has been recognizing local businesses they consider "Youth Friendly." It is no easy feat to win this award. To be considered, businesses need to fall under the following criteria:
Treat youth customers with respect
Hire youth, encourage their school success, and prepare youth for future careers
Support community and school activities for youth
Up to date, 34 businesses have been dubbed "Youth Friendly," and among the most recent is The Bicycle Shop. To nominate a business or see a list of Youth Friendly businesses visit the Spirit of Youth Web site.
