Executive Summary
The overall cost to bring the shave ice stand up and running would be $66,000. The cost to operate per month would be $4,500 for the lease & miscellaneous expenses. Tw breakeven we would need to average $300 to $350 in sales per day. After opening, we will determine which flavors of syrup are most popular and mix our own syrups from concentrate to minimize syrup costs. By mixing our own syrup, we will save $2.50 per quart of syrup. In order to make our own syrup, we would need to be able to identify our best sellers. It would cost an additional $400 in supplies to make our own syrup. These costs would be recouped quickly.
Project Description
Opening a Shave Ice stand at the Koko Marina Shopping Center in Hawaii Kai would be beneficial for the residents of Hawaii Kai. At this time the closest “good” shave ice stand is located in town, about 12 miles away but takes over 30 minutes by car. The other famous shave ice stands are located on the North Shore a good hour away. It is about time to bring back a quality shave ice stand to this side of the island.
