| Expansion potential |
|
|
| To date the business has operated selling own brand merchandise only. We have recently begun test marketing for additional non brand products such as luxury treats, sheepskin bedding and grooming products from other suppliers with excellent results. The business could be further expanded to include ranges from other manufacturers offering customers more choice and leading to even greater turnover. Recently awarded Disney licence to produce co-branded products. |

| Competition / Market |
