GRH Retail Collective

In September of 2023 a group of Capstone/Enactus NAIT students started work on a plan to reimagine the Glenrose corner store. Based on successful prototyping using a popup proof of concept model, Enactus NAIT is proposing a joint venture with Glenrose Rehabilitation Hospital (GRH) to pilot and refine the business model over an eight month period. This would see the store open five days a week starting in May of this year.

To move this project forward, a full-time manager and business strategist is required. This is a perfect role for a NAIT Bachelor of Business Administration Co-op student. This person will be responsible for scaling the project from popups to full operations and guiding it through the next pilot period to a permanent operation that meets the objectives outlined below. This student will be guided and supported by GRH leadership, Enactus NAIT, the Mawji Centre for Student Entrepreneurship, and faculty advisors.
