Franchise Sandwich Shop Business Plan


Franchise Sandwich Shop Business Plan


This business plan is designed to raise additional long-term financing to open a QSR (Quick Service Retail), franchise in Ashland. To fund inventory and operations, the company’s owners are willing and able to invest $30,000 as well as take over $110,000 in short-term risk. We are seeking a SBA 504 loan in the amount $200,000 and, if approved, it will be amortized for 10 years.

The fastest-growing franchise in North America, “The Sub Shop Corp 8221”, is the franchiser. Sales reached $800,000,000 last year. The chain is somewhere between traditional fast-food restaurants and sit down restaurants. This segment of the market is attuned to the health benefits of their eating habits, are more conscious of their buying habits than the general population, and more importantly, they have higher incomes and are willing to pay more for a better fast food choice. Our goal is to make Ashland Metro the best in fast food.

To help us achieve our goals and promote a healthy lifestyle, local sporting events will be sponsored and 3% profit will go to local charities. We will become a part of the community. We will market our products in local businesses, including the Shakespearean Festival.

Our primary goal for this plan is that it help us secure this $200,000 SBA loan. Once we’ve done that, the next step will be to increase value for our constituents, employees, customers and the community. We see these goals as being consistent with the goals the SBA expects of itself and its guarantors.

1.1 Objectives

Our first objective is opening the Franchise restaurant in four months after our site has been confirmed by the realtor. Our site was approved in April. We aim to have the restaurant open by August. Our P&L, Balance Sheet and Balance Sheet all start in August. You can find out more about start-up costs in the Startup Summary Section.

At the start of our second fiscal years of operation, The Sub Shop will make a profit.

We will pay down our $200,000 SBA loan to $180,000 by the end of year one.

Repeat customers will constitute 70% of our overall business by the end of year one. We will collect data from a local marketing agency to determine customer loyalty, and then publish the results to our employees every quarter.

The net profit for the first year will be 21%.

1.2 Mission

Our mission is bring Ashland’s best fast food to the public at a fraction of the cost of other restaurants. Our reputation as the best fast food restaurant in Ashland will be established by our high standards for quality and cleanliness.

Profits are just as important as our community. We will dedicate 2% of our profits towards a local women&#8217’s shelter, while 1% will go to a local environment conservation fund. The company was founded on the belief that good works and good deeds will not only help the community but also ensure the company’s health and success.

1.3 Keys of Success

Your location is crucial to your success. It is very important that our location live up to our expectations, and is convenient to as many potential customers as possible. As stipulated by the franchise agreement, our “Type A – Profile 1” location must contain a minimum of 6,000 customers within a four block radius (or five minute walk time). The pedestrian traffic must be adequate and the lunch habits of the customers must be conducive to eating out.

We must be able to execute our plan. This is the key to our success. If we neglect one or more aspects of our plan, whether that is our numbers, our employees, our cleaning and food standards, or our commitment to customers, we will not succeed and thrive.

    • Hardware Industry According to the US Department of Commerce, the Home Improvement industry has grown at a steady rate of 7% per annum for the past decade. In 2002, the US had a total of $313 billion. The economy has fluctuated over the past decade but the growth in hardware has continued at the same pace. This country has seen a rise in the popularity of ‘#8220’ Big Box stores, which has had a positive impact on independent hardware stores.
    • Search: Troas Marketplace was the location for Hisarlik Hardware. Troas Marketplace a retail/commercial property at E. Anglia St. near N. Umberland St. to N. Mercia Blvd. Troas Marketplace is anchored by Buckbasket Cleaners and Scamander&#8217’s Food Market. It is a big draw. Scamander&#8217’s is the only grocery in downtown Wilusa. This location is easily accessible by all downtown residents. It is just one block away of the trendy and hip Wessex Avenue. Troas Marketplace offers ample parking, which is important for downtown.
    • Urban Product: An urban store in downtown Wilusa requires a different product mix to one found in a suburban shop. Urban dwellers will demand a special product mix. Blocks are a key part of the IAIS program (Inventory Often In Stock) that helps to determine the best products for urban dwellers. Hisarlik Hardware will be in touch with, and focus on, the downtown urban market, delivering products that are applicable to local customers, and marketing these items at competitive prices.
    • Customers: Hisarlik Hardware will work to be the hardware product source for every building or business in downtown Wilusa. We will try to establish strong relationships with property managers as well as service personnel. A delivery service will be set up to make it easier for customers to obtain the products they require, whenever they need them. Hisarlik Hardware might be convenient and easily accessible, but potential customers may find it difficult to leave their offices. To make doing business easy, it will be important that each customer has a business account.
    • Construction Blocks – It is vital to have a cooperative like Building Blocks behind efforts to create a store like Hisarlik Hardware. They provide all of the tools to be successful in the hardware business including research, floor plans, marketing, and systems and instructions for operating a hardware store. To become a Building Blocks Member (Member of the Building Blocks Co-op) really means they will provide an entrepreneur a “business in box”, yet allow the members to control their own business. The extensive marketing programs have been developed based on the input of members and are designed to increase sales, traffic, and profits.
    • Convenience and Service: Convenience and Service are key to this business’ success. These qualities are also strengths of independent hardware retailers. It should be easy for customers to access the store and to navigate. Our personnel have experience in high-end client hospitality. This will make it easier to deal with customers and clients. We will keep detailed records of what customers want that we don’t have in stock.

    As mentioned earlier, a delivery service will be established to make it possible for customers of businesses to receive their products in the workplace. We will also target suburban commuters. Happy hour specials to encourage shopping after the five o’clock whistle will be instituted.

It also fills the gap in the #8220Big Box#8221 retailers one-size-fits all offerings. The Customer can access the Resource area and ask for assistance or directions at any time they visit the store. This area will offer help and support in the beginning of a project. It will help them find what they need, share their knowledge, and give advice on how to complete a job. Employees at the store will be trained in home repair/projects, home improvements, and mechanical repairs and retrofitting. The resource area can also be used for demonstrations and training in home repair and home improvements projects.
  • The Tool Room Rental: A rental business will be established under the Building Blocks’ “The Tool Room Rentals” tool rental program. This will help to generate additional revenue as each tool requires accessories. We will also think about party rental items to be included in the rental inventory. Building Blocks will aid in developing the right rental product mix for this urban market.
