The latest retail operation in the village is located in HCS and is operated by students.

A new store opened in Hamilton today, and while it creates no new jobs, it does provide a lot of experience for those who staff it.

Knights' Knook opened for business this morning on the second floor of the HCS building in space adjacent to Katheryn Roy's room. It is the creation of her computerized accounting class.

The store sells a variety of school supplies, some novelty items and will offer HCS logo t-shirts, sweatpants and sweatshirts.

Before opening, the class visited several nearby schools with similar stores already in operation. The Knights' Knook is similar to the store students visited at Oneida High School.

Part of the class prepared the room for the store, including painting it. Other class members worked on advertising, inventory and database development.

The Emerald Foundation provided a grant to create the store.

Class members involved in the project include:
