Fruitita Juice and Shake belongs to a small type of business, for making the cost of the business less and justifiable, the researchers decided not to build any buildings for departments for sales, purchases and others. The location of the business is just as good as a small type of business then, it is considerable to be just a single establishment divided into different areas.
