1.0 Executive Summary
The demographics of home ownership has changed radically in the South Gate section of Gilmore. Today, over 40% of the area's homes
are owned by women. In addition, 60% of the area's rentals are owned by women. More often than not, it's a woman who will now head
to the hardware store for repair parts and advice. Today's hardware store, which more and more are dominated by the mega-store chains,
are cold, uninviting and usually involve more driving time. Clara's Hardware is uniquely positioned to take advantage of this new fact of
life. Conveniently located to serve the South Gate area, Clara's Hardware offers parts, material, and advice to tackle any home repair, as
well as lawn care. The focus is on helping the customer identify what they want as soon as they enter the store.
Through the use of a selection of hardware goods, superior personal customer attention, and reasonable prices, Clara's Hardware will
capitalize on this incredible opportunity. A location has been secured that offers very good foot traffic and easy accessibility. The store will
efficiently lay out the store to increase sales and give the customers the upmost in attention. The projected growth rate for Clara's
Hardware is quite steady. The store will reach profitability by month six and will have revenue of approximately $100,000 by year three.

1.1 Mission
The mission of Clara's Hardware is to offer quality hardware products in a customer-friendly shopping environment. Our customers will get
assistance quickly and will leave the store prepared to get the job done right the first time. Clara's Hardware will also focus on anticipating
the seasonal needs of its customers and providing the best products at competitive prices. Most importantly, Clara's Hardware will make
the additional 15 minute drive to a mega-hardware store, too far to go and too expensive to entertain.
1.2 Keys to Success

Location: Clara's Hardware is located in South Gate Plaza. The foot traffic in the plaza is very strong. The plaza's primary tenants
are the area's successful supermarket, drug store, and appliance store. South Gate Plaza has easy access points on both of the area's
major cross streets and is the biggest shopping center in South Gate's residental area. The closest hardware store to the South Gate
area is a twenty minute drive.

Seasonal Products: Each season has it own unique demand on a homeowner. Clara's Hardware will focus on this pattern and bring
in local customers by marketing these items at competitive prices.

Repair/Project Resource Area: The first section customers will find when they enter is a repair/project resource area that they can
use to plan repairs or projects. There will be a repair/project resource person to answer questions and direct them to the section of
store where the needed products are.

In-Store Expertise: Store employees will be knowledgeable in home repairs/projects. In addition, the repair/project resource area
will be used to conduct short trainings and demonstrations in home repair and home projects.

2.0 Company Summary

Clara's Hardware offers the parts, material, and advice to tackle any home repair, as well as lawn care. The store's owner, Clara Johnson,
has worked in the hardware industry for over ten years. Most recently, she was the shift manager at Home Depot located in Waterfront

4.0 Market Analysis Summary
In the past ten years, most local hardware stores have closed due to the success of large hardware mega-stores drawing away local
customers. The attraction of the larger stores has always been price and and a large inventory. Customers would rather drive 20 minutes
and make sure they will find what they want rather than drive five minutes and hope the local store will have it at a low price. Yet these
same hardware mega-stores are sterile and not customer-friendly. Customers can wander the aisles, aimlessly lost, looking for a two
dollar item. And when they do find the right section, they will most likely select the most popular brand no matter how large the selection
is. What these store offer in price and selection, they lose in creating a confusing, frustrating maze for their customers.
Clara believes that a local hardware store can provide a reasonable selection in the most important product areas, be competitive in
pricing, and offer the customer a shopping environment that will assure repeat business.
4.1 Market Segmentation
Clara's Hardware will focus on three significant customer groups:

Women home owners: Many women home owners perform their own home repairs and home improvement projects. Clara knows
this first hand since she has helped many of these women in mastering the skills needed to do the work successfully. Clara's Hardware
will be uniquely designed to be responsive to the shopping environment that will attract and retain this important customer group.

Customers who need assistance in planning a project/repair: This customer group can have the most frustrating experience in
the hardware mega-stores. If they can't make the scheduled demos or trainings, they are left to sort thing out with whoever they can
flag down in the store help them. Clara's Hardware will be set-up to provide resources and assistance as soon as they walk into the
store.

Local repair and home improvement professionals: The South Gate area supports a good number of repair and home
improvement professionals. Currently, the hardware mega-stores have their business but Clara's Hardware can win a increasing share
of this customer group through aggressive marketing. Time is money and if Clara's Hardware can save them a trip outside the area,
they will buy there.

5.0 Strategy and Implementation Summary

Clara's Hardware will be heavily promoting the store. We will use the local paper, The Gilmore Sun, to advertise. In addition, we will
have a drawing for five $1,000 home improvement gift certificates that can be redeemed at selected home improvement professionals.
We will have new drawings each week for the first eight weeks of the store's operation. Clara's Hardware will use the drawings to make
connections with the local home improvement professionals. It is our plan to recoup some of the gift certificate money in material
purchases that will be made by the home improvement professionals the winners select.
