Bauman’s Frozen Custard & Italian Ice will open a scoop shop on a busy street near Eugene, Oregon. Bauman’s Frozen Custard and Italian Ice is a new shop with long-term plans for the Eugene/Springfield area. Bauman’s Frozen Custard has received a $15,000 funding investment from Matthew Bauman. This will allow them to start a successful venture to secure start-up financing via a combination of debt and investment.
Bauman’s will be bringing Frozen Custard to Eugene, where it is currently not available. The company’’s initial offering will consist of rich, creamy Frozen Custard mixed with bright, sweet Italian Ice. It will offer different sizes. By using selective marketing, we hope to build a loyal client base that will recognize Bauman’s Frozen Custard & Italian Ice as a high class scoop shop offering a premium product.
Our first year sales are expected to reach $66,000, and then climb to more than $90,000. By the end of the second-year, we expect our revenues will have risen to over $90,000. Despite a first-year loss, we expect to become financially sound by year two. According to our marketing research, these sales should be easily attainable by even a start up scoop shop. Our overall financial model focuses on long-term opportunities and avoiding quick returns. This is in contrast to the fast-paced, trendy restaurants with shorter lives in bigger cities.
