If I were a proud owner of a new bakery shop, it would be called Eva’s Pastries. My bakery would be opened within a school district on Staten Island. The location of my bakery would play an important factor to my target market; the reason why I chose to open it within a school district is to attract the age range of the students attending the schools, as well as the parents of the students. The convenience of my bakery being opened within the school’s range is to provide the students a place near their school to grab some quick food to eat nearby for breakfast or a snack.

As the franchise owner and Area Representative, I have gathered you, my business partners and franchisees to discuss how we are going to increase our profits at our Leesville Road, Raleigh location. As you are aware, I am Area Representative to a total of nine locations (four in Fayetteville, four in Raleigh, and one in Wake Forest), and the owner of the four locations in Fayetteville and Leesville Road in Raleigh. After looking into our numbers from the last three quarters, I am seeing a consistent loss of money each month for this one store. Each of the other eight stores is, on the other hand, consistently making us a profit. It is because of this that I have decided that we needed to sit down together and talk about how we are going to amend this problem. I have several different options that I have considered implementing that I will outline for you here.

These options include changing the advertising plan for this store, cutting back on the number of employees working in this store, investigating labor costs, and analyzing our business costs and making any changes where appropriate.
