College students who own their own business develop unique skills

Bahia Bowls, created and run by FGCU senior Ben Casey, officially opened its doors on Dec. 28 with the hopes of promoting healthy eating in Estero. Casey has led a business-oriented lifestyle ever since he was a child, delivering coolers full of ice to tourists in the Florida Keys alongside his brother.

With a short drive from FGCU’s campus and a simple customization process of the bowls, Casey hopes that word spreads to students about the new dining option nearby.

“As an FGCU student, that it can be very difficult to eat healthy all the time because of the high prices,” Casey said. “I made the menu and prices with this thought in mind.”
