South Delaware Coors
Recommendation

Based on our analysis of the South Delaware Coors Wholesale Distributorship opportunity, we recommend proceeding with the application process for the following reasons:
1. The expansion of Coors Inc. into southern Delaware fills a market void that is normally supplied by the fourth largest brewery in the United States.
2. The break-even analysis which indicates a considerable positive difference between the figures required to reach the break-even point for the South Delaware Coors Wholesale Distributorship and the figures possible based on the predicted percentage of market shares for Coors Inc. nationally.
3. The sensitivity analysis illustrates that investment in the South Delaware Coors Wholesale Distributorship would be able to be profitable under several types of negative scenarios.
Basis for Recommendation

Our recommendation to pursue the South Delaware Coors opportunity is supported by the three following reasons:
1. Coors brewing company produces a high quality produce and fills a void within the South Delaware market. The venture provides a unique opportunity to introduce this product and to expand throughout the market area. Market research indicates that Coors would be very well received within the market area and would prove to be an exciting opportunity for investment.
2. The Break Even Analysis which indicates a break-even point of 305,000 gallons, which is 5.98% of the total beer market within our two county market area, a market share which is significantly lower than Coors Inc. current national market share average of 8.8%. Achieving a market share consistent with the Coors Inc. national average would make Mr. Brownlow’s return on investment equal 38.2%
3. The Sensitivity Analysis explored the overall increase of fixed costs, the need to increase/decrease the cost of a six-pack and an increase in the interest rate. Overall fixed costs could be increased by 33.77%, the price of a six-pack of beer could be reduced to

    Profit Potential. From the studies conducted by Manson and Associates the potential profit can be estimated. The primary objective was to determine the investment potential of the distribution of Coors. As shown in Table 1, in order to break even, the South Delaware Coors distribution would need to sell $247,272 or 224,793 gallons to break even.

    This would allow Coors to differentiate their product in a new way, while minimizing associated costs. Coors would still be required to integrate economies of scale and adjust “Rocky Mountain” water to be more inclusive—“Pure American Spring Water.” By using a new marketing slogan and using “locally supplied” ingredients, Coors could continue differentiating as a proud product using high quality ingredients and processes, only at a lower distribution cost. Keeping qualities of a differentiation strategy establishes higher entry barriers from customer loyalty and provides a cushion for profit margins. This would also help decrease supplier power from the integration of economies of scale and remove the associated operational risks. A combined strategy will allow Coors to adapt and grow in the future, helping to ensure the survival of the brewery.…

    Executive Summary - Coors’ prominence in the beer industry has always been overshadowed by its bigger competitors like Budweiser, Miller and Molson, but new insights unearthed by this report may pave new roads for a more exciting future. The first part of our analysis describes the typical Coors drinker as an aged 25 to 44 male light beer drinker consuming almost seven bottles a week. He also works in a managerial or professional occupation earning over $30,000 annually. Coors’ three competitors also exhibit a similar consumer base with the exception of Molson being predominantly regular beer consumers. These conclusions are tested to be statistically significant.…

    Mountain Man Case Study

    • 1343 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Mountain Man Brewing Company was established as a family concern in 1925 in West Virginia by Guntar Prangle. The company brewed single-product beer, Mountain Man Lager, which won “best beer in West Virginia” and was elected as “America’s Championship Lager”. Mountain Man Lager featured quality, bitter favor and slightly higher-than-average alcohol content that uniquely contributed to the company’s brand equity. Mountain Man was a local market leader and distributed its lager in several states outside West Virginia. By 2005 Mountain Man was generating over $50 million in revenue with over 520,000 barrels of Mountain Man Lager sold. However, Mountain Man had been facing serious challenges. Its revenue was encountering a 2% yearly decrease in 2005 as it faced fierce competition. Light beer was sweeping the beer market and gained 50.4% of volume sales in market share in 2005. Thus, the objective of Mountain Man in this case study is to increase sales revenue by moving into the light beer market. Chris Prangel, son of the company’s owner, hoped to achieve three goals in his marketing campaign: 1.) To produce a light beer in the hope of attracting younger drinkers to the brand; 2.) To sustain the core brand equity of Mountain Man Lager; 3.) To maintain a steady share of its market segment by regaining the 2% annual loss.…

    The idea to continue to grow in the already overcrowded market of specialty brewers is critical to the success of this company. There are currently over thirteen hundred micro-brewers in the United States with The Boston Beer Company ranked number one in overall sales and sixth in the overall domestic market. Currently the Heineken and Corona brands rank ahead of Samuel Adams in this category in the world market. In the near future the company is leaning towards owning more breweries and cutting back on the contract brewers. Currently the different cost associated with contract brewing involves raw materials, excise taxes and deposits for pallets and kegs and specialized equipment required for beer production. Brewery ownership would involve significant capital investment which could easily exceed $50 million for the combination of purchase, expansion and improvement, or for original construction.…
