Background Of Deli:

Current Owner Bought The Deli In March Of 2004. Deli Hasn't Prospered Because The Owner Lacked Experience And The Desire To Grow. Didn’t Need The Money, Just Did It For The Fun. The Fun Diminished As Other Family Interests Increased.

The Business Does About 70% In Catering, And 30% Through The Front Door. This Was The Opposite When She Took Over. The Surrounding Industrial Park Hasn't Done Well (Applied Materials, Others Have Moved Out). However, This Will Change In Time. A Recovery Is Inevitable, As The Space Will Be Rented. This Growth Will Bring Back The Front Door Sales.

Historically, This Deli Did Over $400K In Sales (2003). By Early 2004, Sales Were Down To $300K. Now, It's At About $235K. Sales Have Stabilized At This Lower Level.

Sales Results:

The Business Has Been Cash Neutral For A Couple Years, Showing A Loss On The P+L. Since The Beginning Of 2006, The Business Is Turning A Small Profit ($7K Through June), With Sales Flat To Last Year (Improved Operations). If Certain Non-Recurring And Non-Cash Items Are Removed, The 2005 Loss Turns Into A $12K Profit, As Can Be Seen From A Revised P+L Sheet (Available On Request).

The Owner Has Done Zero Advertising Since She Bought The Deli. She Was Too Busy Learning The Business (No Experience In Food Service) To Spend Time Selling. All New Customers Have Come From Walk-Ins. Flyers To The Local Businesses, And Catering Presentations To The Larger Companies Would Be Productive. Also, There Are At Least 2 Adjoining Industrial Parks Of Equal Size That Have Not Been Approached For The Catering Business. These Are Large Growth Prospects.

Growth Potential Is From:

1. Advertising And Promotions To Grow Front Door Sales
2. Recovery Of Industrial Park Will Grow Front Door Sales
3. Promotion Of Catering Business To Existing And Surrounding Industrial Parks
4. Leverage The Huge Kitchen By Using It To Support Other Locations
5. Open The Deli For Breakfast
6. Sell Other Items In The Store

Again, The Deli Has Spent Zero On Advertising. This Is A Huge Opportunity, But Owner Doesn't Have The Time Or Interest To Do It Now.

Growth Plan:

The Fixed Costs Of The Deli Are Covered With Existing Sales. This Fixed Cost Needs To Be Leveraged With Higher Sales, To Drop Income To The Bottom Line. The Kitchen Is Huge, And Growth In Sales Could Easily Be Handled By The Large Commercial Grade Kitchen. See The Available Equipment List To Appreciate The Value Of The Assets In The Deli. As An Example Of What Is Possible, Here Is A Business Plan To Leverage The Fixed Costs:

1. 33% Increase In Sales (Marketing, Industrial Park Recovery)
2. 4-5% Increase In Profit Margin (Proper Buying, Target Profitable Items)
3. Active Owner/Operator To Reduce Costs/ Increase Exposure To Local Customers
4. Maintain Spending Plan (No Added Costs Needed To Implement This Plan)
5. Result: $68K/Year Net Profit Plan

The P+L Numbers For This Analysis Are Available To Show This Performance Potential
