Description:
My business partner(William Brook) and I are attempting to open a one-stop entertainment store in Mansfield,OH. What I mean by one-stop entertainment is taht we will be selling a variety of entertainment products. Our start out stock will include DVDs of all varieties, CDs, I-Pods, MP3 and MP4 players, CD players, Video games, board games, card games, role playing games, plug and play games, plus we will be able to order other products from internet sources that will include, VHS tapes, Vinyl records, 78s, 8 track tapes, recording equipment, dj equipment, any video game from the past including Atari and Arcade games, table games like pool air hockey and others, and yard games. Basically we will sell any entertainment product except Adult Entertainment products(sex toys, movies of the xxx genre, etc.). Every two weeks, we will have live entertainment from local music artists, and every other week we will have a DJ in the store. At least once a month we will hold gaming competitions for prizes such store credit, coupons, etc. eventually we will expand to that what we could order online will be available in the store. We have been meeting with SCORE on a regular basis, our business plan is complete and we have a store front available to us, as well as distributors. Teh only thing we are missing is the capital to start. We estimate taht it will take at least $ 80,000 for the store, that money will pay for the remodeling of the store, paying for the stocks and shelving, rent, insurance on the products, advertising as well as other expenses. We would like to have $ 150,000 so that way we have a little contingency money just in case we don't do as well in the first month as we calculated.
