Allensburg's Food and Gas
Executive Summary
Allensburg is a small town with a population 3,400. Located on rural Highway 310, the town is 30 miles south of the city of Kent and 34 miles north of the city of Willard. Highway 310 connects Kent and Willard that both have universities and a cumulative population of 200,000 residents. The highway is the main road through town and is used daily by thousands of commuters between the two cities. These commuters sustain a number of road side businesses on Highway 310 that sell flowers, produce and bakery products.
In order to get gas in the Allensburg area, commuters currently have to leave the highway and drive three miles into the edge of town. Robert Cole, the owner of Allensburg's Food and Gas has the opportunity to rent a plot of land just off the Allensburg exit of Highway 310.
Allensburg's Food and Gas will offer these commuters gas, organic produce, and a deli. On the way to work, a commuter could stop for gas and pick up a sandwich. On the way home, the same commuter could stop again to pick up something for dinner.
The aim of this plan is to be a guide for this start-up business. Researching and defining our markets, strategies, mission and financials will provide insight and prepare the owner to successfully run Allensburg's Food and Gas.
