Sweet Shop Business Opportunity
Case Study #2

The Sweet Shop Kiosk

It is important to Calico that they can be as sure as possible that a site will remain a viable business and not just do well for a few days before fading away.

This location was a small kiosk in a busy walk through from a Supermarket to the market square in a small town with little tourist trade.  This type of site was a new experience for Calico and as such a trial was conducted to identify the likely profitability of the location prior to starting with fudgemaking.

The site is run by a husband and wife team and sells about ten flavours of fudge and 40 - 50 jars of sweets. Although they started out with modest goals, the site has comfortably exceeded them, sometimes by as much as 100%.

Fudge and sweet sales are almost equal but the margin on fudge is almost double that on sweets.  This is an ideal owner operated business.
