PLAN SUMMARY
Bokuchoi Ramen belongs to the restaurant industry (NAICS: 722211. SIC: 5812). The restaurant concept is to bring original Japanese ramen noodles to the Tampa Bay area. It will be located at the University Mall in Tampa, FL.
Ramen is known by many in the US as the instant noodle that has become a staple in the life of many college students. The ramen that is made from scratch though, can be an incredible experience that everyone should taste at least once in their lives.
Although there is a risk in opening up a brand new concept, a 3.6% sales growth in the restaurant industry and the demand of consumers show a promising future for Bokuchoi.
In order to provide a good product, the ramen will be prepared all from scratch on location. This is done in order to keep up the standards. This is very crucial since the location has a high density of competitors, and the customers in the area tend to be price conscious as well – the pricing is set slightly higher than the immediate competition.
Bokuchoi presents itself with a huge potential to be a success. Over time there is the possibility to expand into different cities such as Minneapolis, MN.
