1. Pet Rock Distribution Proposal Snuffaluffagus, Inc. Kevin Arndt

2. Path from distribution center to retail location: Approximately 1,588miles Distribution Center: Newburgh, NY Retail Store: Dallas, Texas

3. Primary means of distribution: Ford E-350 Van This van has a 33 gallon tank that will be able to bring the Pet Rocks approximately 462 miles before needing to refuel. The starting MSRP is $31,985, making the van a solid investment that will create profit in a shorter time than a larger trailer. The windowless sides makes painting and logo addition very easier, providing mobile advertisement. Cost for gas for one-way delivery: $382.09

4. Environmentally friendly delivery option The Transit Connect Electric is an entirely electric delivery van developed by Azure Dynamics and Ford Motor Company. The Transit Connect Electric gets between 50 and 80 miles on a charge, which means that it needs to recharge more often, but it does not need gasoline. MSRP listed at $22,035, making it cheaper than the van.
