EXPANSION POTENTIAL
This is clearly an already well established and profitable business. It does however, still offer huge potential to increase both sales and profits by:
1. Do weddings, wakes, parties and buffets for private functions
1. Open the sandwich shop on a Saturday
2. Of the 2 units leased only 1½ is used for purpose, the spare space could be converted into a coffee shop or could even be sub-let
3. Have a working web site with all the fayre on display
4. Increase the working area beyond the current 10 mile radius
5. Apply to more local schools to supply the kids lunches
6. Install vending machines at strategic sites
