Business Operation
- Expansion potential:
- Although PJ's has shown a significant increase in sales over the last 6 years there is still a lot of untapped potential for future growth e.g. open the cafe on Mondays and public holidays, outside catering, sandwich delivery service, promote morning/afternoon teas to retirement villages, promote private functions to clubs and societies. Most of our customers are local people and businesses. We have not yet tapped into the large potential tourist market.
