Niagara's Very Best Juice Bar

Niagara's Very Best Juice Bar (NVBJB) is a food and beverage operator based in St. Catharines, Ontario. The company was started in 2011 and currently they have five (5) outlets up and running at various shopping malls within the region.  Sales have been good with continuous increases in revenue and net income year to year.

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) for NVBJB, Mary Smith, has been giving serious consideration to opening a standalone unit to be located in Grimsby, Ontario.  Grimsby has a growing population of approximately 26,000 and is conveniently located as the halfway point in between Hamilton and St. Catharines. The residents of Grimsby work within the township itself as well as other communities in and outside of the Niagara region.

The possible standalone unit would be a departure from the current business model for NVBJB which has relied upon leasing space in shopping mall food courts.

Mary envisions the standalone unit to be open 7 days a week and 12 hours a day (9:00 AM - 9:00 PM). This unit would offer a very comfortable environment for customers with flat screen TVs and free Wi-Fi.

If Mary were to go ahead with a standalone unit the following costs would be incurred.

Building purchase: $600,000.

Annual insurance expense: $1,400.

Electricity expense: $400 per month.

Water expense: $100 per month.

Gas expense: $200 per month.

Property maintenance: $50 per month.

Internet and telephone: $160 per month.

Equipment & Furniture purchase: $128.000.

Management salaries: $2,800 per month.

Business tax expense: 16%

The building purchase would require a 20 year mortgage financed through Niagara Super Credit Bank with an interest rate of 3.2%. Depreciation would be at 5% per annum.

The equipment and furniture purchase would be financed with a 5 year loan at an interest rate of 5.2%.  Depreciation would be at 18%.

The financial goal with the standalone unit is to achieve a net income value of $1,800 per month.
