Claw and Kitty: Gripping a Potential Expansion
內容大綱
In April 2021, the owner and founder of Claw & Kitty (CK) in Markham, Ontario, was considering moving his claw machine arcade to a larger location to continue growing his business. The owner had managed to grow his business despite the challenge of numerous pandemic-related shutdowns, and now he wanted to expand. He needed to decide whether this was a good time to do so. Would CK be able to survive if the Ontario government implemented future lockdowns or capacity limits? The owner had to assess the return and payback he might expect on this large investment and consider how he would fund the expansion. He would need to analyze the incremental revenues and costs and compare these against the investment to determine whether this move made sense from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives.
