Potential Competition Huge beverage Industry Equal amount of direct + indirect competition. Direct competition: Vending machines at NPSS, NPSS Servery Tim Horton’s, gas station stores and FoodLand @ Howden Plaza. Direct & Indirect competition: Bramalea City Centre + Trinity Commons Mall. Indirect competition: Lil’ Caesars @ Howden Plaza + other popular ready-to-go products = Minute Made students bring from home.
Overcoming The Potential Competition Discovery made: Pricing + location are factors that student body considers, but quality of the product = a huge difference. Example: Wedges @ NPSS Servery = $2.50, but poor quality and less quantity. Wedges @ FoodLand = $3.50 + (good quality) taste good + sufficient quantity. So, higher quality and sufficient amount of quantity eliminate factors cost and location. Thus, Bubblicious ready-to-go bubble tea good quality + enough quantity = genuine reputation + loyalty is created advantage over competitors.
