| Clarkson Students Partner with Scoopuccinos, St. Lawrence ...
Freshmen enrolled in Clarkson University's School of Business class in entrepreneurship have learned and applied the concept of "innovative adaptation" in the launch of their new business, Piece of Cake. Three months after their grand opening in Clarkson's Cheel Arena complex, Piece of Cake broke even from the sale of gourmet desserts, specialty coffees, teas and drinks, as well as other delectable sweets. The business is open during the evening hours and saw significant business during hockey games. The company has also developed an on-campus delivery service and delivers gift baskets on campus. Innovative product line; not necessarily, but the fact these students have partnered with local Potsdam businesses, including Scoopuccinos and the new St. Lawrence Chocolates, is a unique approach to the course requirement to launch a student-run business during their first year at Clarkson.

A Chandler couple has started an unusual business that combines a restaurant with a well-equipped play area for children to allow the whole family to enjoy an outing. The Way 2 Play Caf opened Friday on the northwest corner of Riggs and McQueen roads. The business of 5,250 square feet includes a caf with a light menu of salads, soups and sandwiches, as well as a large play area for children that includes a 25-foot pirate ship and a castle with a slide. The play area, accessible for a fee, is visible from the caf, so parents can watch their kids, and the youngsters can see their parents at the same time. .
