Dollar Store
Executive Summary
Opportunity
Solution
We’re the solution. The dollar store.
Market
We expect sales to increase steadily as consumers find that they can purchase a variety of quality items at bargain prices. We intend to tap into the retail market with pricing that will encourage quantity buying, and our pricing will attract consumers on fixed budgets.
Our target market is the lower income portion of the Bend and Redmond community. This includes working class individuals, the elderly, and students, many of whom are price conscious and looking to find a value for their dollar.
Competition
Consumers demand quality customer service, fair pricing, and a convenient location.
Competition is very tough with customer service and location key components. The selection of merchandise a store provides is also very important.
Why Us?
The Dollar Store provides a variety of interesting merchandise options at bargain prices. Dedicated to customer service the Dollar Store will give its patrons the kind of service that is respectful and prompt. Employees of the Dollar Store will also be treated in a professional manner with a rewarding work environment and fair compensation. The Dollar Store wants each customer to feel as though he/she has gotten Fifth Avenue treatment at a bargain price.
Expectations
Forecast
The Dollar Store will be able to successfully open and maintain operations through year one. The large capital investments of the owners will provide the public with a unique and innovative store that will cater to the needs of those on fixed incomes such as low income families, the elderly, and the large student population in the Bend area. The successful operation of the Dollar Store will provide a customer base that will allow it to be self-sufficient.
