You are basically getting 5 businesses under 1 roof: Retail, Trophy & Awards, Screen Printing and Embroidery, Team Sales and Rental. Growth can be obtained by increasing marketing and expanding more beyond a board shop to other sporting areas like biking, kayaking and other outdoor sports. Expansion into other colleges, high schools and teams for uniforms and equipment could boost sales revenues even higher.
