Franchise Sandwich Shop Business Plan


Franchise Sandwich Shop Business Plan


The purpose of this business plan is to secure additional, long-term funding to open a QSR (Quick Service Retail) franchise in Ashland, Oregon. The owners of the company will invest $30,000 in the business and assume $110,000 short-term liability to ensure funding for inventory and initial operations. The SBA 504. loan we are looking for is $200,000 and will be amortized over a 10-year period if approved.

One of the fastest-growing franchises in North America is ‘#8220’ The Sub Shop Corp 8221. Sales reached $800,000,000 last year. It is located somewhere in between sit-down restaurants and traditional fast food restaurants. This market segment is more concerned about the health and benefits of their eating habits and will pay more for better quality fast food. Our goal is to be that choice in the Ashland Metro area.

We will support local sporting events and donate 3% of our profits to charities in order to achieve our goal. We will build roots into the community. We will also promote our products to local businesses such as the Shakespearean Festival and local hotels.

This plan will help us obtain the $200,000 SBA loans. Once we’ve done that, the next step will be to increase value for our constituents, employees, customers and the community. These goals are consistent with what the SBA and its guarantors expect of themselves.

1.1 Objectives

Our first objective is opening the Franchise restaurant in four months after our site has been confirmed by the realtor. Our site was confirmed April. We want to be open by August. Our P&L as well as our Balance Sheet are all due to start in August. Start-up costs between April and August may be found in the Start-up Summary Section.

The Sub Shop will turn a profit by the beginning of our second fiscal year of operations.

We will repay our $200,000 SBA loan by the end year to $180,000.

The 70% mark will be achieved by repeat customers. We will use a local marketing research company to track customer loyalty and habits, and we will publish these results to our employees once every quarter.

Year one net profit will be 21%

1.2 Mission

Our mission is bring Ashland’s best fast food to the public at a fraction of the cost of other restaurants. Our reputation for being the cleanest Ashland fast-food restaurant will be built on our high standards in quality and cleanliness.

Profits are just as important as our community. We will give 2% of our profits to a local women’s shelter, and 1% towards a local environmental conservation fund. This company is founded on the concept that good works and good deeds not only serve the needs of the community, but will also keep our company healthy and committed to the success of its customers.

1.3 Keys to Success

Our location is the most important factor in our success. It is vital that we have a location that meets our expectations. Our Type A #8211 Profile 1′ location must have a minimum number of 6,000 customers within 4 blocks. This is in accordance with the franchise agreement. Traffic must be sufficient and customers’ lunch habits must allow them to eat out.

Executing our plan is also key to success. We will fail or not be successful if we neglect to implement our plan.

Frozen Custard Shop Business Plan


Bauman’s Frozen Custard & Italian Ice will open a scoop shop on a busy street near Eugene, Oregon. Bauman’s Frozen Custard and Italian Ice is a new shop with long-term plans for the Eugene/Springfield area. Along with a $15,000 investment by Matthew Bauman, Bauman’s Frozen Custard hopes to initially make a successful effort to secure start up financing through a combination of investment and debt to establish the location.

We plan to build a loyal customer base through selective marketing. Bauman’s Frozen Custard will be a high-end scoop shop that offers a distinguished product offering and is affordable.

Our first year sales will be approximately $66,000. We expect to increase our sales to over $90,000. The second year will see an increase of more than $90,000. We expect to be profitable in the second year, despite a loss in the first year. This will not affect our cash reserves. According to our marketing research, these sales should be easily attainable by even a start up scoop shop. Our overall financial model focuses on long-term opportunities and avoiding quick returns. This is in contrast to the fast-paced, trendy restaurants with shorter lives in bigger cities.

They have each contributed $70,000, and $30,00, respectively. All other investors have contributed $40,000 to bring the total investments up to $140,000. The rest of the $30,000 required to cover start-up costs and assets was provided by two bank loans. One-year loan amounting to $10,000, and long-term loan amounting $20,000. Both loans were secured with the Bank of America. Thus, total start-up loss is assumed in the amount of $27,000.

Bridal Gown Shop Business Plan


Bridal Gown Shop Business Plan


Recycled dream is a Portland-based rental shop for bridal gowns and accessories. Recycled Dreams is owned and operated by Connie Jugal. They will fill the gap in the market for formal wedding attire that is rented instead of purchased. Traditionally, wedding party members are required by the bride to buy their dresses. They have no say in what the dress will look like. They are informed exactly what dress to buy. Most often, the dresses look terrible and end up in the closet collecting dust. The dress will be rented once so it is very practical to allow people the option to rent it. This makes it much more affordable, but also fashionable. Men can rent tuxedos, now women can rent bridal dresses.


The Services

Recycled dreams rents dresses, shoes head pieces, and veils. You can buy the dresses for the bride and other women if you so desire. Customers will love the option to rent these unique pieces of clothing. Recycled Dreams not only offers the possibility to rent clothing and accessories for wedding parties, but also has strategic partnerships established with top-flight local suppliers of wedding services such as catering, invitations, catering and photographers. Recycled Dreams is able to provide customers with a one-stop shop for all their wedding preparations. Recycled Dreams will also earn a commission on any referrals that result in additional revenue.


The Market and Competition

Recycled Dreams aims to target two distinct market segments. These are the parents and the spouses of the bride. Couples as a market are growing at 9.9% per year with 114,584 customers. Parents have an 8% growth rate with over 112,000 customers.

Recycled Dreams is up against traditional bridal shops that carry the product. Recycled Dreams recognizes that these shops are competition, but they see them as indirect competitors. Recycled Dreams also believes that renting the dresses is a great value-added service. There are currently no other Portland-based bridal rental services. The concept is entirely new. It has been tested to great success in San Francisco and Recycled Dreams is the first to offer it in Portland.


Competitive Edge

Recycled Dreams boasts two distinct advantages that will enable them to rapidly grow their customer base, and validate their new concept. The first is that women’s bridal wear can be rented just like men’s suits. Because the dresses can only be worn once, this is especially intuitive. Although it might seem that renting dresses is frowned upon by some, the only way anyone can know is that the rental customer is the one who rented the dress. Their second competitive edge is their benchmarked customer service. Recycled Dreams views their role as being there to guide clients through the process and meet all their needs. This philosophy is deeply ingrained throughout the company.


Management

Beyond the fact that Recycled Dreams is a great idea, the company has a seasoned founder and manager at the helm to guide the company to profitability. Connie brings years of retail management expertise. Her retail management experience came from the Salvation Army, where she managed several stores. Connie was a manager and responsible for achieving growth rates of 46% per store each year. Connie will draw on her extensive industry experience to make Recycled Wishes a success.

Recycled Dreams is an exciting concept that acknowledges the fact that most bridal party dresses are not the prettiest creations, are quite expensive, and almost never worn after the intended wedding. Recycled Dreams will reach profitability by month 10 with healthy sales for year one and more than doubling by the end of year three.

1.1 Objectives

The following objectives are set for the initial three years of operation

  • To create a service-oriented company that exceeds customer expectations.
  • Superior service can increase the number clients by 20% each year.
  • To develop a sustainable start-up business providing cost effective bridal dresses.

1.2 Mission

Recycled Wishes’#8217’s mission it to offer affordable bridal dresses and accessories that can be used for weddings.

We will exceed your expectations with our services.

Butcher Shop Business Plan


Butcher Shop Business Plan


Opportunity

Problem

Nearly everyone eats meat as a staple. People expect that the meat is free from chemical contamination and “free range” before it reaches the table. This is to ensure that the food remains healthy and nutritious. It is not easy to see the need to ensure that the meat industry does not exploit animals in crueler ways than it should. How can we trust the meat we eat?

Solution

Parkdale Meats strives to be a leading specialty butcher in the Parkdale, and is committed to providing the highest quality meats.

Market


<br>The U.S. poultry and meat industry is the largest part of U.S. agriculture. In 2007, it produced more than 91 Billion pounds. U.S. meat consumption was 55% beef, red meat, lamb, pork and mutton, 36.8% poultry and 8.2% seafood in 2007. Meat is sold through retail establishments, including restaurants, grocery stores, and butcher shops. The number of independent butcher shops has declined over the past ten years, as meat sales have somewhat fallen. They have been replaced by big-box retailers and grocery stores. However, this presents an opportunity in markets where only the most basic meat options are available from larger retailers.

Competiton

Parkdale Meats competes with the following types of competitors:

* Grocery shops: seven locations in the Greater Parkdale area

* Costco and Walmart are big box retailers

* Butcher shops Red’#8217’s Meats, Bay Avenue Butchers

Parkdale Meats’ founders Eryka Ausroch and Robert Suidae will help it establish its competitive edge. Robert has established relationships with top meat suppliers and an understanding of the art of butchering. Eryka is an expert in food service management, financial planning, and sales records in business-to–business sales. The pair will be able to compete with other local butcher shops and grocery shops in the niche market.

Why Us

Parkdale Meats is an exclusive butcher shop that aims to deliver the highest quality meats, cut to customers’ specifications, and to be the premier specialty meats supplier in the greater Parkdale area.

Expectations

Forecast

The cash flow generated by the business after startup will allow it to grow. There is potential for substantial growth in the initial target market before the shop has to hire additional staff or move into a larger facility.

Financial Highlights by Year

Financing Needed

Robert Suidae (the founder) and Eryka Aroch (the CEO) are each investing $65,000 to start the company. This totals $130,000.

Retail Bicycle Shop Business Plan


Retail Bicycle Shop Business Plan


University Cycle Works is an established bicycle specialty store, offering retail sales of new bicycles, parts and accessories, clothing, and maintenance and repair service. It is conveniently located in a highly-trafficked area, close to universities.

The primary market for University Cycle Works is the university student population, which normally has a turnover/growth of approximately 25% each year. The secondary market is the university faculty and staff, and the tertiary market is the greater Metroburg community.

Hubert ‘#8220’ Hub has been the Assistant Manager of University Cycle Works for five-years. Hubert also has seven additional years of retail and service experience in the bicycle industry. Hub first began investigating the ownership of a bike business two years ago, however, the local Metroburg market seemed saturated with shops. Realizing that a more practical option would be to buy an existing shop, Hub approached his current boss. After two years of negotiations, the University Cycle Works will be sold to Hub on July 1, 2001. The goal is to seamlessly transfer ownership. Staff, bike lines and location will remain the same.

This business plan is being prepared for presentation to Metroburg Business Bank, and to the store’s major suppliers of new bicycles, accessories, and parts. A substantial part of the past year’s planning has been negotiations with these suppliers to maintain the current financial agreements as the business changed hands. Hub’s good working relationships with sales representatives from various suppliers were a huge help in these negotiations. In the meantime, the suppliers have granted provisional continuation of existing terms.

This sample plan does not include names, proprietary information or financials.

1.1 Objectives

University Cycle Works’ objectives are:

  1. University Cycle Works remains committed to providing the best sales and support services.
  2. You can easily transfer ownership.
  3. Assist in the purchase of a business that is financially sound.
  4. Within the first year, repay the family member’s start-up loan.
  5. You will achieve monthly and annual sales equal or greater than the previous year’s under the previous owner.
  6. The goal is to increase sales of rainwear and garments that are bicycle-specific over the next year.
  7. For current growth in sales revenue and service revenue, you should focus your marketing efforts on new students.

1.2 Keys for Success

Our unique, high-visibility spot right adjacent to Metroburg State University has made us the leading service and bicycle dealer for the university community.

The continuance of established accounts payable, sales programs, and co-op advertising resources by suppliers of bicycles, accessories, and parts makes the financial plan reasonable and attainable. The purchase of the business without this support would be unacceptable and risky.

Buying and continuing to use the recognized, well respected name University Cycle Works provides continuity for the customers, the owner, and the employees.

This is as important a product as any other. They are University Cycle Works’ lifeblood. University Cycle Works has always valued long-term relationships with its customers. We know and address our customers personally and are eager to be a part their university experience.
