REQUEST FOR FUNDING
An old proverb from antiquity says: "No power on earth can stop an idea whose time has come." If the basic premise / concept behind the fantastic 7 year success of the single NOBLES store in operation in Rockford, IL. is any kind of a fair indication of its projected success, then expanding on a NATIONAL SCALE will prove, unequivocally, that this ideas' time has definately come.
Because its discounted pricing format is structured to be able to offer the lowest prices ALL THE TIME, there is no reason to believe that this kind of a store can't be successfully replicated on a national scale - and when viewed in the light of the present economic condition of the times, it just might be THE BIGGEST NO-BRAINER BUSINESS INVESTMENT in the entire history of modern low-tech retailing.
NOBLES is a convenience type store that sells convenience store products & services as well as a few basic key food items at prices that are 10-50% lower than ANYBODY else in town. Despite its somewhat small, shabby / tacky appearance and middle-of-the-block location it still does well over a million dollars a year in sales and could do a lot more with better management and a few more products and services.
Amazingly, the premise / concept behind NOBLES has apparently eluded the best minds in corporate America as an exhaustive search of the Internet has shown that even though it's an easily providable product / service type store that every consumer would like, NOBODY IN THE WORLD is offering it to them. The failure of anybody to recognize this opportunity leaves a big empty void in this sector of the retail market to be exploited by someone with the wisdom and foresight to recognize it for what it is.
Never, in recent memory, has the economic outlook in this country been more bleak and dismal than it is today. With every single economic indicator pointing to the fact that things aren't going to get much better anytime in the foreseeable future, never in the entire history of modern retailing have the time, opportunity, and economic conditions been more conducive to virtually guaranteeing the success of a chain of stores like NOBLES.
Because the economic conditions are taking the same toll on people across the country, the virtual guarantee of the success of a NOBLES store, whereever it might be located, is personified by the NOBLES customer here in Rockford. Although they are happy to have a NOBLES store in their neighborhood, they are, because of the economic pressure of the times, more or less, being forced to shop there and have grown to depend on it so much that they would be extremely stressed-out if it wasn't there for them.
I believe in my heart, mind, body, and soul that with the proper leadership, NOBLES can achieve, in less than a decade, the same kind of phenomenal success in their sector of the retail market as WAL-MART has in theirs - making us the equivalent of THE WAL-MART OF CONVENIENCE STORES!!!
I urge anyone who is reading this posting to look beyond any negative aspects that you may initially think might be associated with this venture and temporarily set them aside long enough to determine if its long term potential is worth further consideration of its possibilities.
I realize that this posting doesn't provide enough definitive information to make a reasonable decision regarding it - but it certainly contains enough to peak the curiosity of an investor who wants to get in on the ground floor of a business venture with the potential of a NOBLES.
