II.1 Mission
The PicknBuy will set a new precedent for local standards. No longer will convenience stores,
ice cream shops, coffee stands, and relaxation be offered separately, but will be combined at
one location for convenience and ease.
II.3 Objectives

leisure time, and passerby. It will soon rise to be the trendy place to shop for quick needs and
a little relaxation to a busy day. To achieve this, The PicknBuy will:
a) Generate 218,000 of sales in year 1, with an 11% growth rate for the next four years.
b) Realize a gross margin of at least 55% each year.
c) Show a net profit of 20,000 by the end of the year 1.

• Soda fountain
• Ice cream
• Magazines, newspapers and other reading material
• Beverages and other highly-purchased goods
• Other
• Coffee bar/soda fountain: This will provide a more elaborate choice of beverage beside
the standard juice, pop, and water. Use of quality coffee, soda, and other ingredients
will establish The PicknBuy as the place for attaining such high-quality goods.
• Ice cream: A variety of 10 flavors will be available from the local companies. Already
known for excellence, the ice cream will be available in basic scoops, sundaes, banana
splits, and other favorite novelties. Again, this will incorporate great products at lower
expense, thus maintaining our customers.
• Magazines, newspapers, and other reading material: The PicknBuy will offer 3 major
newspapers and a variety of magazines tending towards sports, culture, relaxation, and
travel. However, as a place of relaxation and leisure, reading material will focus on
those subjects.
• Personal Goods: Due to The PicknBuy's clientele being based from the university
campus and medical college, many goods will be available that may be needed on an
"emergency" type basis. This will include plentiful quantity of basic goods, medical,
beauty, automotive, educational products.
• Beverages and other highly-purchased goods: Realizing the basic purchasing pattern of
students, we will focus on their needs in such areas such as beverages and other goods.

a) Convenience stores: This competition will be from university authority that have
established convenience stores in or near the campus. Although they will focus more
on the in-and-out customer, we will be able to provide the same speed with better
quality and service.
b) Ice cream/soda shops: One such store exists currently in the campus. While they have
a strong customer base, we will be able to break into the market due to our prime
location in the DU campus and the variety of products and services that can be attained
at one place.
c) Coffee shops: There are many coffee shops that offer a place for reading or studying.
However, The PicknBuy will focus on providing gourmet coffee for those needing to
continue on with their day. We feel that great coffee should not be available only for
those who want to stay and mingle. Our coffee will soon be a recognized as a known
standard for campus drinks, especially since there are no other nearby coffee shops for
those on the campus.
III.5 Technology
Due to the basic setting of The PicknBuy, there will be little need for modern technology in the
"nostalgic" setting. Plans include attainment of a state of the art coffee/espresso machine and
antiqued soda fountain. Coolers will be of high quality to ensure products maintain their proper
temperature level. We will also ensure free network connection through WI-FI.

a) DU campus students: Students often have different schedules from other people. Breaks
can vary in time and length, so a facility close and convenient to the campus is needed.
By providing basic foods and supplies, students will be attracted to this timesaving,
delectable store.
b) Leisure People: Many people that travel look for unique stores at a location. The
PicknBuy will pride itself on the "good ol' days" feeling brought with our soda fountain
and ice cream parlor setting. However, we recognize that a business will not support
itself on these factors alone, so a coffee bar, reasonable meals, and other basic goods
will be available for purchase. This will enable a one-stop shopping experience for
those planning or returning from their leisure activities.

c) Passerby: Passerby needs quality products at their convenience. The PicknBuy will
provide a new source for nutritious, quick meals and favorite snacks. With the
convenience of The PicknBuy, all transactions will be prompt and efficient.
A distinction of convenience stores and other grocery stores is just that: convenience. To
maximize this, location must be easily accessible and prompt service. Our location will be
beneficial for all, especially students at the DU campus. Also, by providing the variety of food
and non-food products, The PicknBuy will be able to facilitate the needs of customers better.
We will expand our hours to a greater time frame, allowing convenience to be based on the
customer’s schedule.
We will focus on prompt service and general purchases towards food and non-food products.
Our friendly and clean atmosphere, will create a standard for convenience stores in the area.
This in turn will convert the industry's percentage of weekly customers and transaction amount

Once we have been established, we may offer special promotions and weekly specials, but this
will be of little focus. By focusing on nostalgia and relaxation, we want customers to expect
the quality and price to be dependable and constant.
