What is the most important way the small business you have chosen meets customer needs?
In this project I aim to tell you all about the business I have chosen and identify the ways that it meets the needs of its customers.
The business I have chosen to base my project on is called ‘Lees Heginbotham & Sons Ltd’. The address of the business is: 59-61 George Street, Oldham, OL1 1JF. The business also has a website for its customers: leesheginbotham.co.uk.
‘Lees Heginbotham & Sons Ltd’ is a Private Limited Company and therefore this tells me that it has limited liability. The business has 6 employees, the manager, a cleaner and four carpet fitters. * What does ‘Lees Heginbotham & Sons Ltd’ do?

As you can see, the shop is near to Manchester and has an excellent motorway link which can enable customers to travel to the shop conveniently.
The satellite map above shows ‘Lees Heginbotham & Sons Ltd’ via the green circle. It also shows ‘Spindles Shopping Centre’ by the red circle. The blue circle shows ‘Lees Heginbotham & Sons Ltd’ competition ‘Roll End Carpets’. The map also shows the surrounding area of the shop and the local businesses of the shop. There are also a number of bus stops around the shop; this allows customers to travel to the business easily. There is also a tram link currently being made on ‘Union Street’ and this will then enable customers to travel to the shop easily and quickly.
* The shop
The picture above shows the front of the shop. As you can see the name of the business is clearly displayed all the way round it.
This picture shows the inside of the shop. As you can see there are many rolls of carpets on display so the customers can experience the carpets before they buy it.
This picture shows the rear of the shop. As you can see there is a car park for the customers.
* The website
This is a screen shot of the Google search I did to see how easy it was to find my business on the internet. As you can see it is the fifth business to come up on the search engine so it is very easy for the customers to find it.
Here is a screenshot of the home page of ‘Lees Heginbotham & Sons Ltd’. You can see easily one of
The plaza that the shop is located in also is home to a local Jewel Osco which, by itself, already sees hundreds of shoppers daily. Lining the giant parking lot is a number of other businesses that also tend to be busy. An optometrist office, a beauty shop, a real estate office, and even a Burlington Coat factory. Needless to say, it got plenty of foot traffic in the months leading to its opening.
Shopping - The local shopping centre features the IGA Supermarket, specialty shops, the Post Office, plant suppliers and landscapers, and several restaurants.
Smith and Lackey Streets are where you’ll find the local butcher, One Penny Red (a local wine bar and restaurant), a green grocer, and the newly refurbished post office. Smith Street is also home to several quaint cafes and studios easily accessed from the Flour Mill
The business that I am investigating is Chalk Valley, a gourmet burger bar at 27 London Road, Southampton (see figure 1.1). They have been running since February 2014 and the business is a private limited company.
* Store is in a busy and commercial area giving it much exposure to customers passing the area
The store is different from others because instead of buying an already built or used building, they instead bought some land and built on it. The land they bought was at the corner of two popular roads making
People don’t realize how much effort stores put into designing their store layout. They use different techniques like some having a small store so they can stock put more product on their shelves, to make the store look fuller. Another is making the signs look bigger because of the small space. Bigger stores group products for different occasions, so the customer buy what you want and leave faster. These styles may change, and some may stay the same depending on the costumer's needs. But one thing will stay the same, how can we get people in our store? And how can we make them buy our
This shop was part of an Experiential Learning Opportunity (ELO) for my online English 2 high school course. I devised the course with the assistance of teachers who directed me through the entire process. Research papers were an immense component of the project, and some of them were published
It was a small store, about the size of a bathroom, however the reason being it wasn’t your typical store in which you would go inside along with picking what you want then pay, this was a drive through a
Everything is divided up into sections. On the left side of the store, it starts with clothing, and makeup, then it moves into car fresheners, backpacks, and plastic toys. On the left side of the store, against the wall is a t-shirt shop. The t-shirt labels are on the wall, then the shirts are folded into square bins. This makes it easier to find what shirt you are looking for. Next, it moves into keychains, storage bins, and safes. Over on the right side of the store, in the back they have the sports/active gear and equipment. Then, as you go forward, they have party stuff against the side of the store, card displays and phone accessories. They have plenty of cases, chargers, and car adapters for every phone. As you move up to the front of the store, there is a giant candy display on shelves like you would see at a gas station. They have normal sizes up to king size candies. In the front on the right side of the store, they have water bottles, sunglasses, and other impulse buys up towards the
The traditional corner shop has evolved by trying to find areas where the larger supermarkets have left an opening including longer opening hours, local produce, wider range of books and magazines, better choice of sweets and confectionery, lottery ticket sales, but as supermarkets continue to change and evolve it is becoming harder to find an area that can be
(Figure5). Town Mode’s location is very important for the business because there is a busy road with traffic. The sign is visible and people going past will see it. There is not too much foot traffic but customers can easily access the store. A good location for the business must also be easily accessible. SA Hobby Centre has its own car park somewhere near the store and some customers can use this car park. The car park is not always free and you may not always find a park in peak shopping times from 10:30 am to 4:30 pm but never the less access to this car park is a positive for Town Modes new

I have always believed customers are the focal point of any business. I found that having satisfied customers does not mean you are doing a good job. It may mean the customers are satisfied because their expectations are so low and there is no one else doing any better. Having
