	| Market competition and expansion: 
 | Despite already achieving excellent weekly
sales, the business still offers huge potential
for the future to increase profits and
turnover by:
1. Opening on Sunday’s and later in the
evenings, as one of the shops is almost
next door to the local night club
2. The local cinema is due to open in
October 2009 and the town centre is
due to have an influx of workmen
who are shortly to start work on a
new shopping centre
3. Having a sandwich round to local
factory sites
4. A working couple could reduce the
wage roll
5. Converting part of the upstairs of the
main shop into a seating area to
accommodate more customers
6. Having an interactive web site to
take orders via the internet |
