Unique opportunity to have three businesses in one. This 50 year old business has three distinct lines it offers to a wide variety of clients. 1/3 third of its business is done via the internet and the remaining 2/3rds throught its retail location in Arizona. The Company has three distinct lines of business: 1) Trophies, awards & custom engraving, 2) Girl Scout uniforms & supplies, and 3) Shuffleboard equipment & supplies. Shuffleboard equipment generates 54% of the total Company revenue with Trophies & Awards generating approximately 35%, and Girl Scout supplies contributing 11%. The diverse lines of business and clientele help to balance revenue & earnings should any one segment of the Company s markets slow. Each segment represents both marketing opportunities and unique prospects for growth. The Company is well positioned for growth with the energies of a new owner. Due to health issues, the current owner has been unable to grow the business to its full potential. With relatively inexpensive and simple actions, a new owner could grow the business to the next level.

Facilities: The Company is currently located within a retail/service center in the East Valley and consists of approximately 2,100 square feet. The facilities comprise of a showroom for the awards & custom engraving along with a work area that functions as a warehouse, computerized engraving and order fulfillment area for the internet sales. The Company has a favorable lease which expires in 2010 with 2 five year renewal options.

Competition: The primary competitors of the Company vary depending upon the segment of the business. The trophy & award segment is very competitive and categorized by many small proprietary shops. The Girls Scout supplies segment is much less competitive locally with the Company ranking well with Google & Yahoo for online searches.

Growth/Expansion: The Company has gained market share and operated profitably in three competitive markets. The company has excellent reporting systems enabling the owner to manage and identify trends of the business. Opportunities exist for a new owner to mine past customer data and develop simple customer retention campaigns to reach former customers, communicate special offers, and drive additional sales growth. The current owner believes that sales are being lost due to not being open on Saturdays. Extended hours could help capture additional sales.
