Business Plan:

I am going to open a very upscale wine store.  It will serve all citizens in this area and other areas near by becuase there is no other store like this one.  My partner will be a silent partner.  We will make our own wine and also sell home decorations like kitchenware and glasses.

Hook: 

My winery will be completely orignal because the customers will be able to buy wine by the case, by the bottle, or they can just sit and relax and drink.  I will have the best wait staff and everyone will be prestigious.  Customers will come here to relax and have a glass of wine or they can come and buy wine for their many parties.

Advertising Plan:

I will have an advertisement once a week in the local newspaper. I will also have some advertisements in prestigous magazies.  There will be billboards around town with pictures of my homemade wine and also a website that anyone can access.

Financial Plan:

Startup Cost: $10800

Monthly Business Expenses:
