Will it ever be stocked again? He says that somehow it will. We’re waiting. In 1980, the newly elected Ronald Reagan walked onto the floor of the New York Stock Exchange and announced that with his administration there would come the era of the entrepreneur and the hard working businessman. He said there would be a climate wherein creative people with new ideas would succeed. Two brothers from O-M took him quite seriously. The idea for an in-school, student-operated refreshment concession was bom in the mind of Larry Beebe, entrepreneur extrordinare. His creation, Coke-Pepsi-MountainDew-Dr.Pepper,Inc., took off like a rocket and Larry quickly had a booming business selling pop to O-M’s thirsty scholars. After Larry graduated in 1986, O-Mer’s were without his services for a year until his brother, Chris, more commonly known as Cab, picked up where he left off. In the months before the ’87-’88 school year got under way. Cab spent much time thinking of new ideas for expanding the business. He had 1000 business cards printed promoting his new franchise and its products. On the first day of school, he and a few friends distributed them among the student body. Soon crowds formed around locker 68 and and its pin stripe, three piece suit- clad occupant to check out ’CAB’S CASH -N- CARRY’. They found, as the cards advertised, people could purchase just about anything they craved. Cab’s offered 4 kinds of pop, 4 kinds of gum, 5 varieties of chips, various candy bars, and a few miscellaneous products. Students could also make purchases on credit with 25% interest. The prices were reasonable yet profitable for Cab. In the 21 2 weeks Cab’s was in operation. Cab earned $150, following his theory that if you can’t make 100% on an item it’s not worth selling. Cab also held an after school job at Acme to supplement his income. He soon quit, finding that he could make more money running his own establishment. In the third week of school, Cab got nabbed for selling on school grounds. He served four nights detention and lost his business. Cab promises that he’ll somehow make a comeback. 14 CAB’S CASH-N-CARRY
