Things dads are great at: making paper airplanes, teaching the finer points of popping wheelies, handing out allowance.

And in the case of 13-year-old Zach Rosenberg’s pop: helping a young entrepreneur get his start in retail. The enterprising Rosenberg is the brains behind Zape (his dad is the brawn), a funky new store packed with stuff he likes and thinks other kids will like, too.

Retro toys, rubber bracelets, hoodies, embellished toddler sneaks, tanks from Sugar Lips, and a variety of Zape private-label items, such as tees for babies and adults, fill the space. The stock is ever changing, so you never know what you’ll find.

The interior looks like a five-and-dime crossed with a skate shop.

And smells like teen spirit.

Zape, 1195 Chestnut Street, Newton (617-527-9273 or zapeonline.com).
