There is not close enough to the city centre to attract new customers, though it has many of the problems of being in a city: high rent and not enough room for storage or for increasing the size of the shop. The third option is in the industrial park out to the north of the city .This is the best option if you want to develop the business market e.g. supplying glass on contract to builders engineering firms etc. Unfortunately, you might lose most of your share of the personal/home market. Another point is that the industrial park is not a very attractive place to work in: few trees or grassy areas; no cafes etc, for staff to visit during breaks. The final location under consideration is the new businesses development site on the east side of town, where a large area of farmland is being developed into a business centre. Units have already been sold to a number of large retailers as well as to several small retailers. This new site will attract both private and business customers. Your customers would not need to pay for parking and they would be able to combine a visit to your shop with their other shopping. However, there is already another glass supplier on the site and there might not be enough trade for both companies.l For questions 23-28, choose the correct answer.l For each question, mark one letter A,B or C on your Answer Sheet. 23.
