2.3 Location: Proposed
The most desirable location we have found is in Imperial Plaza Shopping Center located on WallerAvenue. The center will soon be renamed to Waller Center. The property manager estimates that20,000 cars pass this center daily.
Imperial Plaza: This location has 1,800 sq. ft. and is priced at $9.50 per sq. ft. The CAM expenseis $1.50 per sq. ft. and is adjustable and refundable at the end of the year. In other words, ifthe common area maintenance fund has not been fully used during the year, the remainingportion of the fund will be credited toward the tenant's lease payment.
Approximately 350 sq ft in the back room can be used as work space and storage. The salescounter is adequate but could use some paint. The drop-down ceiling panels need to bereplaced. The floor needs carpet and the walls need to have the pegboard panels removed orcovered with slatwall. The window display risers are adequate but could use some carpet.
Monthly rent is $1,425 and the Common Area Maintenance (CAM) is $225 for a total of $1,650per month. However, the owner's representative said he would consider taking less. Allappropriate insurance for liability and inventory is the tenant's responsibility. The ownerappears to be very flexible and helpful. The start-up leasehold expenses have been based on thisproperty.
Other potential sites we have looked at are as follows:
Southland Drive: The location has 2,000 sq. ft. at the very end of Southland Drive close toLane Allen Rd. It was previously occupied by Southland Florists, which moved to a new location.The property has been available for about three years. The space is one of 4 or 5 spaces ofthe same size in a stand-alone building at the end of Southland Shopping Center.
Classique Gifts Etc.
Page 7
The back room, which serves as a work and storage area, has a bathroom and will needremodeling. The floor will need new tile and some of the walls in back need repair.
There is an office area with a separate ceiling which should be removed for additional ventilation.An additional small room is adjacent to the office and should be removed to provide additionalretail floor space.
The retail portion of the property needs the carpet replaced. The sales counter and thedisplay window risers need to be replaced. The front door needs advertising material removedand the walls throughout the front and back need painting. The entire ceiling must be repaired.
The business sign must be flat against the outside surface. The existing sign with a new facecan be utilized. However, the signs cannot be seen from Southland Drive because of three verylarge pine trees blocking the view. Parking is small but probably adequate for these shops.
The rent is $1,800 per month with the first month free for renovation. There is no commonarea maintenance (CAM) charge. The deposit is $1,800 and is due along with the first month'srent. The tenant must provide the appropriate insurance for liability and protection of his assets.The owner said he would repair the ceiling and walls. The tenant is responsible for all otherleasehold improvements.
This space will need considerable leasehold improvements. An existing tenant next door is nothappy with the owner or her current situation and has only been in the location for six months.
Chinoe Center: The location has 2,280 sq ft in an upscale strip center with a mix of officespace and retail outlets anchored by Kroger Supermarket Grocery Store. The property islocated next to Kroger and with the right sign will receive a tremendous amount of visualadvertisement exposure with the Kroger traffic. However, there is no display window, whichexplains the relatively inexpensive rent and CAM expenses. We have not seen the inside space.
The door leading to the space is located between a carryout Pizza store and Kroger. The doorleads to a hallway about 25 to 30 feet long into a space which turns into three separate oddlyshaped rooms. The space was previously used as a modern dance studio.
The space is priced at $8 per sq ft and $1.65 per sq ft CAM fee. That is $1,833.50 per month.The tenant assumes full insurance responsibility for inventory and liability.
3.0 Products
Classique Gifts Etc. plans to carry special occasion gifts and merchandise from the San FranciscoMusic Box Company, Swarovski crystal, Lennox crystal, Outback Chair Company, TraditionsArtglass Company, children's books from Harvest House and other suppliers who display theirproducts at the Atlanta International Gift Market or the Columbus Marketplace for Gift, Gardenand Home.
We will also purchase merchandise from the most well-known collectible doll manufacturers andsuppliers in the United States, including Steiff, Madame Alexander, Turner Dolls, LeeMiddleton, Wendy Lawton, Susan Wakeen, Kish Dolls, Lloyd Middleton and others that providethe quality products that our customers wish to purchase.

4.0 Market Analysis Summary
According to Pam Danziger, President of Unity Marketing, the collectible doll industry generated$3 billion in retail sales in 2000. The gift industry, which includes general gifts, collectibles,stationery and greeting cards, generated $54 billion in sales in 2002. As predicted by UnityMarketing, "the future of the gifts and home accents market is positive for the next severalyears."

4.1 Market Segmentation
The ideal customer we expect to serve is:
· Middle to Upper Class· Primarily Female· 30-75 Years of Age· Educated· Homeowner· Quality Conscious· Value Conscious· Family Oriented
We will attract these customers by offering unique and uncommon product selections not foundin the mass-market retail stores.
4.2 Industry Analysis
· More and more consumers are seeking independent retailers that offer them the feel ofhome with a more personalized shopping experience.
· As consumers become more time-deprived, they are looking to shop at stores whoseservice offerings are as equal in quality and value to their products.
4.2.1 Competition and Buying Patterns
Brand name products sell well in stores that maintain a good selection, good location, andknowledgeable, friendly employees. These are the most important factors when sellingcollectibles and gifts.
There is only one store in the Lexington area that carries a wide variety of collectible dolls.However, the doll inventory only makes up about 25% of the total inventory. We do notconsider this store serious competition because their lease for the 4800 sq. ft. store expires inMarch, 2004, and it is rumored the business will not renew the lease.
Other stores in the Central Kentucky area carry one or two lines of dolls but do not offer awide variety of collectible doll lines. We intend to offer many different doll lines, doll accessories, personalized knowledgeable service, and a variety of other unique gift merchandise.
Classique Gifts Etc.
Page 9
The Internet offers dolls at discount prices. However, most of the merchandise is retired ordiscontinued lines that the manufacturers sell in bulk at discount wholesale prices. These are notthe products we intend to carry in Classique Gifts Etc.
We intend to develop a web page at some point, probably in year three to marketour merchandise on the Internet.
