Retail Shop Business Plan
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this business plan is to outline the parameters under which the principals will pursue the construction, development and operation of a franchised Fran's Ice Cream Shoppe in a key location at the mall entrance to the food court of Davis Plaza, a successful, dominant, super regional shopping center in metropolitan Woodland - Sacramento.
Davis Plaza's management company, Martin Richardson and the franchisor, the Fran's Ice Shoppe Company, Inc., are optimistic and enthusiastic about locating a high-volume shop within Davis Plaza.
Martin Richardson, The Fran's Ice Shoppe Company, Inc., and the franchisees, Augustus and Cheryl Dwyer, are all confident that this Fran's shop will be successful among the other national stores already committed to doing business in Davis Plaza.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Fran's Ice Shoppe of Davis (franchisee), will construct, develop and operate a licensed franchised ice cream dipping shop of The Fran's Ice Shoppe Company, Inc. (franchisor). This single retail dipping shop will sell Fran's ice cream and related products, all manufactured by the franchisor under its name.
Revenue will be primarily from the sale of hand-dipped ice cream and related products consumed within Davis Plaza. Franchisees will also sell ice cream cakes, traditional gourmet cakes, birthday cakes and Cola products. Sales are anticipated to be $360,000 in the first year and to increase at an average annual rate of 4% per year in the first five years of operation.
The franchise will be located in Davis Plaza in Davis, California. Because of its location in the center of the Woodland - Sacramento areas, Davis Plaza serves many communities and is commonly considered the Tri-Cities' premier retail facility. Davis Plaza, which opened in 1968, is a two-level, enclosed regional shopping center containing a total of 1.2 million square feet and 200 stores, shops and food service establishments. The Plaza is anchored by Hank's, B.P.'s, and

    New retail space We opened nine new stores in the year, at Giffnock, Gorleston, Whitefield, Kidderminster, Granton, Northallerton, Blandford Forum, Clifton (Nottingham) and Holyhead. Two of these (Giffnock and Kidderminster) were replacements of existing stores and two (Blandford and Northallerton) were former Safeways, which had been closed since the acquisition due to their small size. Our decision to reopen them reflects our growing confidence in the operation of, and return from, smaller stores, and we have been pleased with their performance. A further two of the stores (Gorleston and Clifton) were previous Co-op/Somerfield stores that we acquired and converted to Morrisons. In both cases we saw very significant uplifts in sales compared to those achieved under their former ownerships, and as a result we were pleased, later in the year, to agree the acquisition of a further tranche of stores from the Co-op/Somerfield that we will open in…

    I feel this would be a great business venture since the other nearest ice cream parlor is 3 miles away off campus. This would be convenient to the university students and also to the ice cream parlor. My recommendations would be to offer a student discount to all of the students on a certain day with their student ID. We could hire part time staff from the students, which would help boost the ratings of the parlor. However, the only downfall I see would be the summer and winter breaks when the students leave and go home. Although not all of them would be going home it would decrease business while they are…

    International sales during 2007 increased by 28% over 2006 this is shown in greater detail in Appendix A. The domestic increase in sales is less than 1%. This data signifies the potential of continued growth internationally. Company owned domestic store revenue decreased significantly from 2006 to 2007. This is evidenced visually in Appendix B. A large part of this decrease can be attributed to the sluggish American economy. Avoiding this volatility by divesting from company owned stores by selling them to franchisees will allow for a more consistent and diverse revenue stream.…

    Macroeconomics explores trends in the national economy as a whole considering the study of the sum of individual economic factors. Industry is affected by factors such as GDP, unemployment, inflation, interest rates, and consumer price index. Fiscal (government) policy can help guide the economy toward a particular track without dictating a specific ending affecting tax, interest rates, and government spending (McConnell and Brue, 2005). Monetary policy attempts to achieve vast economic goals by regulating the supply of money through influencing outcomes like economic growth, inflation, and unemployment. Both policies attempt to control or regulate the economy. "If monetary policy is doing its job, the government should maintain a relatively…

    Ford-Firestone case is a unique and an appropriate example of violation of business ethics by two renowned corporations. Ford Motor Company and Fire Stone Tire Company. Each of which was the manufacturer of a “different product. This essay talks about as to how the leading car manufacturer Ford, can be held morally accountable for the various accidents and deaths. Which occurred in US due to vehicle rollovers of its popular SUV known as the “Ford Explorer”. However executives somehow managed to put most of the blame on Firestone by saying that the accidents and deaths occurred mainly due to tie blowouts. And therefore “ it’s a Firestone tire problem and not a vehicle problem”. On the other hand Firestone claimed that many of accident were mainly due to the vehicle’s lack of stability and wave not due to its tires indeed much of the essay is about opposing statements made by the executive of Ford and Firestone. Therefore, in order to have a better understanding of the case, it is important to understand the difference between when an item is product in its own right and when it is a component of another product. When thousands of parts came into a Ford assembly plan, Firestone tires were also like those other components that were acquired by Ford. Therefore it can be presumed that the tire were manufactured in a manner to suit the Ford specifications, and they did became a part of the assembly process. At the time of assembly, Ford should have checked whether the tire had the same quality as other components. Even according to the utilitarian approach, the manufacturer of the product should be held responsible for the detects rather than the retailer. And it is the duty of every producers to…
