solutions, as well as spray bottle, gloves, towel and mask — during the 10 a.m. segment on Thursday’s “Today” show.

All of which present exciting challenges for these young entrepreneurs: How to keep up with a rapidly scaling business.

Mike Schiestel of Detail Kitchens in Arlington Heights has served as their mentor in the class during the school year, and another mentor, Craig Leva, owner of Long Grove Confectionary, also has stepped up with advice.

“I have been a fan of this group’s product and have offered some help,” Leva says. “They have an exciting opportunity to significantly grow their business through the attention that they have received.”

Both mentors advised the teens to tighten their product design by making the boxed kits smaller in size, which would require changing their graphics and finding a graphic designer who specializes in this kind of packaging.

The students also will have to seek more vendors where they can buy in bulk to meet rapidly increasing orders. And they may need to change their method of distribution.

“Currently, they sell on Amazon and self-fulfill orders,” Schiestel says, “but they will need to shift to having Amazon fulfill the orders to ease their burden.”

The reality of their heightened visibility was brought home last week when they were asked to ship four kits to the NBC studio at Rockefeller Plaza in New York City.

“We definitely want to cherish this moment, though, because, as Mike has reminded us, this type of opportunity doesn’t happen to everybody,” Molloy says.

“We are ready to make the most of it in order to help benefit our business and product, but we also realize how fortunate we have been to have these connections and incredible chances so early in our careers,” she adds. “It has been a thrilling adventure so far, and we can’t wait to see where else Skunk Aid will take us.”
