A large 25 year old family owned retailer with a strong brand name, reputation, and sales was attracting considerable attention from developers that wanted them to anchor new shopping centers in other cities. The owners found the offers very attractive, but were unsure if expansion made the most sense for them.
Alpha Omega conducted an extensive analysis of the company and the opportunity. This analysis included a review of the management team capabilities, the company’s financial performance, an analysis of the industry, which included consultation with industry experts and venture fund investors, and an analysis of the competitors in the new markets. The analysis also examined the capital that would be needed to expand into new territories and what the return on investment would be.
The Alpha Omega team prepared an extensive report which reviewed the findings and offered recommendations.
The client decided that the offers were very attractive, but not for them. The expansion would have required considerable investment on their part, and it would have significantly changed the operations of the company by bringing in additional managers and requiring them to operate in multiple locations.
