Opportunities Threats

From the movie “Office Space”

• To be the leader in quick service restaurants by serving the best sandwiches and "products in and around sandwiches" in the marketplace... one successful restaurant

and one "wowed"

customer at a time.

• First one opened 1981

• Nearly 3,500 in 15 countries

• New restaurant opens every 8 hours, on average

• Most popular sandwich use to be Classic Italian, but now it is Mesquite Chicken

• Original store to do toasting. This sets them apart from other sandwich shops

SWOT Analysis

Strengths• Original Toasted Sub Shop –

imitations aren’t as good• Punch Cards• Watch sandwich be made• Keeps up with low-carb trend (salads)• New Marketing Strategy (Baby)• Surrounding Stores bring in Business

Weakness• Location• Small eating area• Expensive

Quizno’s

Opportunities• Q card

• Expanding menu all the time

Threats• Other sandwich shops toast

• Jack-In-the-Box

Oscar

• Started in October 2002

• Business was REALLY slow in the beginning

• It has grown a lot since they started but is still has a small customer base than many other Blockbusters

• A lot of business from HP

Overview

• Blockbuster is a well known

brand name for video renting

• Better store layout than the other

Blockbuster in the area (in my

opinion)

• Can usually find what you are

looking for

• End of late fees, and the Movie Pass

• Very friendly, helpful staff.

(they don’t have many customers so they jump on an occasion to do something)

Strengths Interior

• Low customer base due to out-of-the way location

• No differentiation from other Blockbusters because it is run at a Corporate level

• Parking in the area is not very good

Weaknesses

• The actual store can’t capitalize

on any opportunities unless through

the Corporate structure

• If they could…

• More “old” movies

• Better signs and advertising

• More TV shows on DVD

• More Games

• Coffee, ice cream, and snacks

Opportunities

• Hollywood video could be a slight threat, but since most of the Blockbuster’s customers come from HP in the K-Mart area it’s not a great threat.

• Online movie rentals

Threats

• Just not a great retail area for Blockbuster

• It sounds like the business from HP is just enough to keep the store float

• If differentiation were possible, this store location would need to maximize that to get higher traffic and grown their customer base
