Students set up Halloween-themed makeshift shops and sold their products on the Quad on Thursday.

Nine student entrepreneurs set up tables to sell their items.

“We had some first-time vendors and some returning vendors,”  third-year entrepreneurship student Cameron Millar, president of the Entrepreneurs Club, said. “We also had new and returning customers. “

This is the second pop-up shop event this semester. The first one was on Sept. 17. A third will be in November, Millar said.

Second-year teaching and education student Karey Uchak, who sold Halloween-themed candles at the makeshift marketplace, said the holiday theme “helped with the selling points.”

“I make very specific scents to these candles and, like, they always have a back story to them,” Uchak said. “[For example] we have a skeleton bathtub water [candle], which seems to be pretty much a really good favorite. Everyone likes it. … It’s just a skeleton resting in a bathtub and you don’t get special effects until the tub is actually lit. … The roses will melt into the tub.”

Uchak said she “feels pretty good” about her sales but thinks that more people would come if it was warmer. 

First-year baking and pastry arts student William Sedgwick, who runs a customized cookie and 3D printing shop, said he was “pretty pleased” with the sales of his Halloween-themed 3D printed items.

Fifth-year American Sign Language student Judi Peveto, who sold Halloween-themed crochet plushies at the event, said more people became interested in her products because of the season.

“I’ve done a lot better than expected,” Peveto said. A lot of people like to get into themed stuff, so I think that makes it a lot more fun.”

Second-year cybersecurity student Jayden Cerezo, who bought a fidget plushie from Peveto, agreed, saying it was “very in-tune with the season.”

Felix Gallagher, a first-year undecided student, said he bought a valorant-inspired kunai–a Japanese knife–from Sedgwick to give to his little brother.
