Star Fireworks Austin Iverson

Current situation! Our current problem is not having enough space to store multiple kinds of fireworks on hand at once. We have had many customers come in and ask for specific fireworks and we didn’t have them on hand because we didn’t have space for it. We don’t have space to put more product out. All the shelves are packed tightly which is a big struggle for the customers and the employees. The expansion would give the employees a break room, give the owner a small office and make a bigger inventory space to keep extra fireworks in. The new expansion and adding new buildings in surrounding areas will open up jobs for people that are unemployed and will give them the opportunity to work and provide for their family.

Why we need this! We need this extra money to expand our company and add more locations. The expansion will create more shelving space which will reduce the product being packed closely together, add more types of fireworks onto the shelves and also hold more of a highly wanted types of fireworks on the shelves.

Options! We have discussed a number of measures to address these situations. 1.We talked about adding more shelving: Adding more shelving will make the products less crowded on the shelves and will allow us to add more product. More shelving would make it so we can have many more of a highly wanted product on the shelf. 2.We also talked about opening more locations in surrounding areas: It would allow customers to drive less to the location and it would be less time for them. It would also be more efficient because they would be wasting less they would be wasting out of their day. 3.We are asking for the money to expand and make more money. And with the donated money will pay for the fireworks we donate. And the money we make from random sales will be donated to local charities. (Toys For Tots, Salvation Army, Feed My Starving Children, Homeless and Starving)

Recommendation! Dimensions of the building: 40 feet by 50 feet. Walls will be 6” thick. 2. Shelving: 10-15 feet long by 2 feet wide. 3. Carpet: 40 feet by 50 feet teal carpet. 4. Paint: The walls will be painted like a night sky, then a firework coming up and exploding into the night sky. 5. New Furniture: The new furniture will make the place feel more comforting and make everybody have a better mood and attitude. Carpet: It costs $59 per square foot. That would be a total of $118,000. Shelving: Cost $200 per 10 foot long and 2 foot wide shelf, but the 15 foot shelf by 2 foot shelf is $300. Paint will cost $43 per can. And it will take about 10 cans to paint the new addition black. That is about $430 dollars. Then we will need to hire a professional to take a perfect picture of an exploding firework to form onto the wall.

Why We Are Asking For Money? We are asking for the donation from Angle Funds because we would like to expand our company so we can become bigger and more known. We are asking for a $750,000 donation. $450,000 to pay for the 40’ by 50’ addition. $10,000 a month for rent. And still be able to pay the employees. Staffing problems Our current staffing problems is we only have 3 staff working for the company. The manager has to help out at casher and help restock the shelf when it shouldn’t be their job to. The normal employee is getting $8.25/hr. and the manager is getting $10.50/hr. We would like more of a donation so we could get a few more normal employees so the manager can do more managing stuff.

Overall In the end we shared our current situation. Also why we need the donation. And the options we could take. Some recommendations. And why we are asking for the donation and our staffing problems. Hope u donate to us. 
