The Industry
The Donut/Coffee Shop industry continues its growth in Canada. The franchised units such as Dunkin Donuts and Tim Hortons are expecting to add over 400 Donut shops in the next year in Canada.
The main challenges of the Industry come from easily prepared meals that can be purchased in the conventional food stores. The convenience is equal to going out and the taste is roughly equal to prepared food from restaurants.
Food Service continues to lead other industries in total sales such as housing, automaking, and electronics. The food industry continues to gain a greater share of all food dollars spent in America, moving up to 45 percent versus 55 percent for retail food which represents a gain of 20 share points since 1960. As these figures show, there is room for entry into the restaurant marketplace.
The eateries that succeed are the ones that offer midpriced meals and are perceived by the customer as offering price value entrees.
The key factors to success in this industry are quality, cleanliness and perceived cleanliness of the facility, speed of service, and superior customer service (friendliness).
The Community
The Town is the second largest community in the Region and it is readily accessible year round. Connected to the Qu?bec highway system via the The Town urban centre 120 km. away, The Town has access to the north by way of the Route connecting to the Highway through NTown. The airport at The Town provides direct connections to Montreal and Qu?bec City and the highway network provides easy access from the south.
Lake Mistassini and the surrounding lands are among the worlds most beautiful and pristine places. Its natural and cultural resources represent a vast array of attractions to tourists. The lands are mostly Reserves or Category I and II, meaning that the Cree exercise use and control over it. The Town is also one of the few Cree Communities with a well developed Tourism Strategic Plan.
