Statement of Purpose
The purpose of this Business Plan is to outline our current operations and map out our plans for expansion. Our goals are to raise additional capital through private loans and private equity injections from individuals who see the potential in this opportunity. This business plan provides a description of a proposed venture to expand our current retail operation from a one-store operation to a two-store. The reason for developing this new business plan is to include our second store to be located in the Gary Lee Burt, Sr. Building in the Downtown University Place Sector in Tacoma, Washington. This location is approximately four blocks from the current Buster’s. We have secured a lease, effective March 27, 2011, in the Gary Lee Burt Sr. Building.

This space, in the building will house Buster’s Inc when the multiple, state of the art office building opens for business.
