- Opportunities for Growth
- Currently, the enterprise operates on a highly conservative, restrictive, and self-limiting footprint. Presently, the storefront is only open to the public from Wednesday through Saturday. On those active days, the hours of operation are strictly limited to a window between 10:00 AM and 4:00 PM, occasionally extending to 5:00 PM. Consequently, the store remains entirely shuttered on Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. More detrimentally, by closing its doors at 4:00 PM or 5:00 PM, the business is completely dark during the peak evening hours when massive downtown events are generating tens of thousands of impressions right on West Salem Avenue. Therefore, the primary and most immediate growth catalyst requires no complex marketing strategy, no risky pivot in product lines, and no new massive capital expenditures. As explicitly stated in the operational analysis, simply increasing hours of operation will organically increase revenues as an opportunity of a future buyer.
