| Potential
Growth/Expansion:
As mentioned earlier, the prices for drinks are extremely reasonable: domestic beers cost about $3.00 each, and imported beers about $3.50. It is likely that these prices could be raised modestly with no loss in volume of drinks sold.
Currently, approximately 80% of income is generated from sale of liquor/beers.
There is considerable potential for expanding the food offerings. Menu specials are often sold out whenever they are offered. The crab fests are always very popular. Presently, most revenue is generated from liquor sales.
Owners sponsor a spring and fall kickball league. They pay $8.00 per person (typically about 400 people) for sponsorship each season. In addition to the publicity derived from the sponsorship, it hosts after-game parties that draw large crowds.
In addition, the owners have on occasion assisted community groups to throw fund-raising events, using their second and third floor party facilities. |

| Competition:
