In Bloomington, the pop-up coat check made $50,000 in five months

The Story
At Indiana University, Derek's first coat check was born in a sports bar in Bloomington where dance nights turned pool-table areas into dead space. He proposed moving the table, building racks, and made $50,000 in five months.
