Coming to your city Your neighborhood ice-cream store... BUSINESS PLAN FOR LAUNCHING… BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY INTRODUCTION • Global chain of ice-cream parlors. • More than 5,600 locations, 2,800 of which are located in the United States. • Sells ice cream in over 30 countries, including Japan, Canada, the United Kingdom, the United Arab Emirates, India and many more. • It is known for its "31 flavors" slogan. BRIEF HISTORY Three-quarters of a century ago, two brothers-in-law shared a dream to create an innovative ice cream store. During World War II, Burt was a Lieutenant in the U.S. Navy and produced ice cream for his fellow troops. When the war was over, the two entrepreneurs were eager to capitalize on America’s love of ice cream. In 1945, Irv opened Snowbird Ice Cream in California. His store featured 21 flavors and emphasized high-quality ice cream sold in a fun, personalized atmosphere. A year later, Burt opened Burrton's Ice Cream Shop in Pasadena, CA. By 1948, they had six stores between them. This concept eventually grew into BaskinRobbins. In 1949, there were more than 40 stores in Southern California Burt and Irv purchased their first dairy in Burbank. This business decision allowed them to have complete control over the production of their ice cream, and the development of new ingredients and flavors. The use of cartoons to bring their flavors alive with personality to graphically highlight the name and delicious ingredients. With this over-arching branding, BaskinRobbins’ iconic pink spoons were created with the belief that people should be able to try any of their many flavors without cost. SIGNIFICANT BRANDS Ice-Cream Sundaes Cakes Beverages UMER ANWAR IDENTIFICATION OF OPPORTUNITY SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths • In Pakistan labor cost is cheap due to which the cost of production will be ultimately low. • Demand of an ice-cream is very high. • Stiff competition in market makes things better. • Technology is advanced which increase demand daily. • Foreign company is stronger than Pakistani company in the field of fast foods, ice-creams and beverages Weaknesses • • • • Cost recovered after long period. Major part of business is on credit. Due to tough competition profit margin is less in each product. In companies there is a lot of wastage of resources, that ultimately affects the company’s productivity. Opportunities • Potential advertisement can directly approach to the consumer market. • Companies can get edge from direct sale model, which results in customer satisfaction due to enough know about the product. • Companies have opportunity to capture the market by introducing mass product lines. Threats • Pakistani ice-cream industries are having their potential market share but for new entrants companies local producers may be a big threat. • Sometimes patriotism overcomes either company spread network all over the world. • Governments support the investment and boost their business through comprehensive competitiveness by integrating internal and external resources.
