Growth/Expansion:
There is room to grow and expand the business in a number of ways. Pick-up and delivery service has proven to be a high profit margin opportunity and this has not been pursued by the owner. The business has largely relied on its existing customer base and word of mouth to generate new business so a modest advertising campaign has the potential to bring new customers into the fold. |
